Do not put a swimming pool in your yard until your children are all over five years old. Swimming pools are the number one drowning risk for preschoolers.
Children tend to slip silently into the water when they drown.
They do not usually splash or make a sound. A child can drown within 30 seconds. Most importantly, do not leave young children alone near water , not even with other children, not even for just a second. N ever swim alone. D o not use a diving board in a pool that is not approved for it.
