Watch kids when they are in or around water, without being distracted. Keep young children and weak swimmers within arm’s reach of an adult.

Did you know... a child can drown in as little as 2 inches of water, and it happens quickly and silently. Empty kids’ pools after each use. Store them upside down so they do not collect water. Also know what to do in an emergency by taking a CPR class.
