Never leave your child unattended in or near a swimming pool, hot tub, spa, bathtub, toilet, or bucket of water, even for a second. |
 |
Keep toys, tricycles, and other children’s play things away from the pool or spa |
 |
Don’t allow barriers, such as fences or walls, to give you a false sense of security regarding your child’s safety. There is NO substitute for adult supervision. |
 |
Don’t consider your children to be "drown proof" because you enrolled them in "waterproofing" or swimming classes. |
 |
Always take your children to open water areas such as beaches and lakes that are well supervised by trained lifeguards. |
