Most childhood drownings occur in swimming pools. In order to prevent this from happening on your property or to your child, adopt the following swimming pool safety measures to help prevent drowning tragedies:
Pool safety
· All pool owners should be certified in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
· Never let your child swim without an adult present.
· Inflatable toys or mattresses should not be used in water above a young child's waist.
· Remove toys from the pool when they are not in use. Young children can fall in the swimming pool when attempting to reach for the toys.
· Any doors leading from the house to the pool should be fitted with an alarm that sounds when the door is opened unexpectedly.
Pool equipment
· Install a power safety cover for when the pool is not in use.
· Keep rescue and safety equipment near the pool. This should include a cell phone with emergency numbers, as well as a life preserver.
· Above-ground pools that are not in use should be made inaccessible. Make sure steps and ladders are secure to prevent unsupervised children from climbing into the pool.
· Install underwater pool alarms that can be heard inside the house and in nearby areas.
· Install fences and walls around the entire pool.
