This is Drowning season in Arizona
Yes, there is a season for drowning in Arizona and we're not proud of that
In 2022, Arizona had the highest number of pool and spa fatalities in the country. This is not something to be proud of. We can all do our part to have Arizona become the state with the LOWEST number of pool and spa fatalities.
Toddlers, Children, Teens and Adults who know how to swim drown every year
MYTH: We can remove our pool fence when are children are a little older.
What about: Your friends' children, your relatives' children, your children's friends?
What about: Your friends' children, your relatives' children, your children's friends?
MYTH: If we have a lock on the door, we don't need a pool fence.
Have you seen how cleaver children are? A child will get old enough to get past locks.

MYTH: My children are grown, I can take my pool fence down.
Does your neighbor have children? What if they climb the fence into your yard?
Drownings are preventable. How you may ask.....
AROUND POOLS:
Have a designated Water Watcher. This person doesn't talk to anyone. They are to watch and count the people in the pool and those coming and going into the water. NO Phones ---NO Talking ---- NO Photos NEVER SWIM ALONE. It is not just toddlers that drown. Adults and Teens drown too. EVERY year! Along with having a designated water watcher, do your part to keep track of everyone in the water, too.
IN THE YARD
All buckets, containers, and children's pools should be emptied when done using them.

IN THE HOUSE
Toilet lids should be locked when little children are around. Pet water dishes should be emptied when babies and toddlers are around, buckets emptied when not being used, ALWAYS supervision when a child is in a tub. It only takes two seconds. Babies and toddlers are top heavy. Every year children drown in toilets and other containers around the house and yard.
