Here are some tips to help prevent tragedy:
1. Supervise Children Closely: Always ensure active adult supervision when children are in the pool. Teach your children never to swim without an adult watching them.
2. Stay Close to Weaker Swimmers: Water wings and inflatables do not replace adult supervision. Stay near children and others who aren’t strong swimmers.
3. Avoid Diving into Pools: You may not know the water’s depth in a pool, which can lead to hitting your head and becoming unconscious.
4. Follow Pool Rules: Prevent slip-and-fall accidents by not running. Also, avoid chewing gum while at the pool, as it is a choking hazard.
5. Learn CPR and Keep a First Aid Kit Handy: If the worst possible scenario occurs and someone is drowning, know how to save that person. You can become CPR-certified through online courses.
