At Hupy and Abraham, we want you and your family to make the most of summer safely. Follow these essential water safety tips to help prevent accidents and keep the fun going all season long:
Children should never swim without the active supervision of a responsible adult. Stay alert and avoid distractions as drowning can happen quickly and quietly. Teach your kids early on that they should never go into the water without an adult present.
Floaties, water wings and inflatables are not life-saving devices. If you know someone isn’t a strong swimmer, especially a child, stay within arm’s reach and ready to assist if needed.
Never dive into a pool unless you are certain it is deep enough. Diving into shallow water can cause serious head or neck injuries and even lead to unconsciousness or drowning.
Pool safety rules exist for a reason. No running helps prevent dangerous slip-and-fall accidents, and chewing gum near water increases the risk of choking, so save it for later.
In a life-threatening emergency, knowing CPR can be the difference between life and death. Taking a certified CPR course, many of which are available online, and keeping a stocked first aid kit nearby anytime you’re around water will help save lives.
By following these tips, Hupy and Abraham believe your summer can stay focused on fun, not fear. If something does go wrong, we're here to help.
