We need YOUR help

 DROWNING PREVENTION - WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!


Water Needs to be Respected
It is FUN and it is DANGEROUS 

One person cannot spread the word and help families to be aware.  Can YOU help get the word out so that we can stop preventable drowning?
  
It will take us all to understand and get passionate about this. 
It is not the other persons problem or responsibility - it is all of ours.

You may have heard this before but it needs to be repeated.  It WILL save lives.....

ONE LAYER OF PROTECTION

Gate propped open

Most of the drowning of children have been because there was NOT a Pool Fence OR the barrier was compromised (i.e. gate propped open, gate lock broken, a gap in the fence, etc.)

Failed Gate Latch
SECURE GATE WITH LOCK                             


A POOL FENCE WITH A SELF-LATCHING/SELF-CLOSING GATE IS A MUST

A preteen, teen and an adult lost their lives because they did not know how to swim. Don't be afraid to let someone know YOU do not know how to swim and If you are going to a party be sure that your child is wearing a coast guard approved floating device - blow-up floaties do not count.

We have had fatal incidences this year with toddlers, young children and a preteen who did not know how to swim.  There were people in the water and around the water but a designated Water Watcher was not assigned.  Most times we THINK we are watching or that someone else is watching. A Water Watcher is ALWAYS an Adult!

ALWAYS ASSIGN A DESIGNATED WATER WATCHER AND ROTATE EVERY 15 MIN

A - Always Adult Supervision  (Water Watcher)
