Pools Can Be Fatal For Children: 5 Safety Tips to Prevent Drownings

Drowning claims the lives of over 700 children annually. It is the second leading cause of unintentional deaths for children in America. Even when under appropriate supervision, kids can easily fall into pools when parents turn their heads. Parents often do not realize their child is in distress because young children do not call for help or splash, but sink like bricks to the bottom of the pool.

To protect your children from drowning, follow these 5 safety tips:

1) Cover or fence-off pools (in-ground and above-ground).
2) Empty your kiddie pools after every use.
3) Make sure your children always have appropriate supervision.
4) Don't allow diving.
5) Use proper flotation devises for young children.

Remember, even if your child is a good swimmer, disaster can strike at any moment. Always supervise your children around water and be prepared to jump in at a moment's notice.
