While colorful pool floats are a fun way to enjoy the
water, it is critical to know the difference between a
pool toy and a pool safety device.
Although they may look similar, not all floatation devices are U.S. Coast Guard-approved. Anything inflatable can easily deflate, leaving children vulnerable.
Consider the following when using water toys:
Find a designated area to store water toys away from the pool during non-swim times
Use the 3 C’s of Supervision: Constant, Close, and
Capable
Always use NDPA’s 5 Layers of Protection,
including physical barriers
Any flotation device not specifically USCG-approved
should NEVER be considered a safety device for
water activities.
