You don’t have to be a lifeguard to understand that drowning can happen quickly, even in the shallow end when someone is watching. Make sure that small children have all the necessary life jackets or floatation devices. Keep a close eye on older children who may like roughhousing in the pool or using equipment life diving boards. Teach your children that running on a wet pool deck can lead to slips and falls. Learning valuable skills like CPR has plenty of benefits outside of monitoring your family in the pool. Pool related accidents are entirely preventable with just a few simple precautions.
