The most critical line of defense is adult supervision. No level of aquatic skill can replace active supervision. If your child is ever missing, look in the water first.
2. Pool Fences & Alarms
Install a permanent 4-sided fence with self-locking gates. Ensure that
the pool fence is at least 3-5 feet from the pool edge. Make sure all doors and windows leading to
the pool are locked and alarmed.
3. Keep a Cell Phone nearby
Every second
counts when you have to call 911, but keep it turned off or silenced while you
watch swimmers in the pool.4. Survival Swimming Lessons
A moment's inattention does not have to cost a child his life. ISR's Self-Rescue™ training is an added layer of protection, teaching your child water survival skills in a completely safe environment.
5. CPR
If an emergency happens, it is essential parents and families are
prepared. Learn to perform CPR on children and adults and remember to update
those skills regularly.
Even if your child has had swimming
lessons, no child is drown-proof and there is absolutely no substitute for
adult supervision.
