What better way to beat the heat than a cool summer.
Children spend more time around water and are even more attracted to it during the summer months.
Parents should teach kids that an adult must be watching them before they go in or even near the water. Generally, twice as many adults are needed to adequately supervise children. Check that rain water has not collected in outdoor containers. Do not leave water in cleaning pails. Kids can drown in just two or three inches of water.
