Children at poolside must be watched constantly. Adults should not allow themselves to be distracted by household chores. Drownings happen quickly and without warning. There is no cry for help. Surviving depends on rescuing the child quickly and restarting the breathing process.
Seconds count in preventing death or brain damage.
A poolside telephone showing emergency numbers will let you summon help after C.P.R. is started. Prevent child drownings, moments last a lifetime. For information call 288-5633. Viewing PDF documents requires Adobe Reader. Accessibility Policy Copyright 2001, Martin County, Florida.
