Staying safe around water
Red Cross New Jersey said drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among children age 1-4. Here are some tips on avoiding tragedy with young children around water.
Provide close and constant attention to children you are supervising, even when a lifeguard is present, no matter how well the child can swim or how shallow the water.Avoid distractions including cell phones.Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child’s life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water.Designate a “water watcher” whenever in a group setting.Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets aloneMany children who drown in home pools did so during non-swim times – when they weren’t expected to be in the water, including as the swimming activity was coming to an end and everyone was thought to be out of the waterIf a child is missing, check the water first. Seconds count in preventing death or disability
