National Water Safety Month 2021
Important Dates
#NationalWaterSafetyMonth
5/6 -5/12 National Nurses Week
5/7 National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day
5/13-5/19- National Alcohol and Other Drug-Related Birth Defects Awareness Week
5/28 Don't Fry Day (Skin Cancer Awareness & Prevention)
Preeclampsia Awareness Month
It's getting hot and we know the pool is calling your name. While it is exciting to get summer started and have some fun in the sun, it is also important to remember your family's safety outside around water. The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as “Don’t Fry Day” to "encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors."
This month's safety blog focuses on how to be safe with your family around water. Within it, you will find some helpful tips from the International Swimming Hall of Fame, as well as a printable safety flyer about the ABCDs of Water Safety from Arizona Childproofers. As always last month's product safety RECALLS are at the bottom.
According to Safe Kids Worldwide, "Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of the summer season, and many families will soon be heading to the beach. Sadly, it’s also the time when many children drown: An estimated 1,000 children fatally drowned in a single year in the U.S., most of them between May and August. In addition, more than 7,000 children are taken to the Emergency Room each year because of a drowning scare."

Water Safety Tips
Water Safety Tips Courtesy from the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF)
- Teach children water safety and swimming skills as early as possible.
- Always brief babysitters on water safety, emphasizing the need for constant supervision.
- Appoint a designated watcher to monitor children during social gatherings at or near pools.
- Equip doors and windows that exit to a pool area with alarms.
- Post CPR instructions and learn the procedures.
- Keep rescue equipment poolside. Don’t wait for the paramedics to arrive because you will lose valuable lifesaving seconds. Four to six minutes without oxygen can cause permanent brain damage or death.
- Keep a first aid kit at poolside.
- Install four-sided isolation fencing, at least five feet high, equipped with self-closing and self-latching gates, that completely surrounds the pool and prevents direct access from the house and yard.
- Maintain constant visual contact with children in a pool or pool area. If a child is missing, check the pool first; seconds count in preventing death or disability.
- Don’t use flotation devices as a substitute for supervision. Never allow a young child in a pool without an adult.
- Don’t leave objects such as toys that might attract a child in the pool and pool area.
- Never prop the gate to a pool area open.
- Don’t rely on swimming lessons, life preservers or other equipment to make a child “water safe.”
- Never assume someone else is watching a child in a pool area.
- Don’t leave chairs or other items of furniture where a child could use them to climb into a fenced pool area.
- Don’t think you’ll hear a child who’s in trouble in the water; child drowning is a silent death, with no splashing to alert anyone that the child is in trouble.

Thanksgiving Holiday Safety Tips
The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day are among the busiest of the year. Families are planning trips to visit relatives, searching for thoughtful gifts, preparing special meals and many other tasks to make the holidays the most wonderful time of the year.
In the next few fast-paced weeks, it is easy to be so busy that we forget some safety basics.
Have you ever gone to an event....where you are bringing a hot casserole or other yummy dish. You keep it hot and place it on the floor and while driving you have to quickly stop! Now that yummy dish is all over the floor or seat! Well, that wasn’t in the plan!
- Make sure to properly place items (especially really hot foods) in the trunk of a vehicle to avoid potential injury and also distraction from the road.
- Remember, just one distracted moment can cause far greater harm than a ruined meal.
- Taking a moment to remember simple safety tips can help keep your holidays safe and your memories joyous and fun.
Seven Tips for Safe Holiday Travel from Safe Kids Worldwide and General Motors
- Remember to buckle up every ride, every time, whether it’s the long trip to visit family or around the block to the mall.
- Shopping center parking lots are busier during the holidays. Watch out for distracted pedestrians and drivers who may not be paying attention to you, especially when backing out of parking spaces.
- For parents of teens, remind them to be extra alert during this holiday season, when conditions are more challenging even for experienced drivers.
- Commit to keeping your electronics out of your hand. No text message or playlist is worth the risk.
- If you are headed to a party and plan to drink alcohol, designate a driver or use a car service to make sure you get home safely.
- Expect the unexpected. You never know when you have to stop abruptly, so keep hot foods, large gifts and anything that can become a projectile in the trunk.
- Remember when traveling in large groups, all vehicle occupants need their own seat belt or car seat, even for short rides.
