If you are the adult watching the children, make sure that you focus on watching and not on something else, like reading a book or talking on the phone. Enroll your children in swimming lessons as early as possible. Pools are not the only place kids drown. Keep you children away from canals. Never leave a child unattended in the bathtub.
Children can drown in spas, toilets, buckets, or even a dog s water dish.
Boaters should wear life jackets, slow down in wake zones, and adhere the local codes which promote safety.
