Water Safety Tips

Another area which one needs to concentrate on when it comes to safety pointers is the water. Many people do not realize it, but accidents can happen within the blink of an eye if water safety is not taken care of. Prepare yourself with these safety rules as best as you can.




It is always advised that you provide swimming lessons for your kids. It will help them in the future as well.

Make sure that if the kids are too small, there is some form of adult supervision always present.

Make your child wear a life jacket if they don't know how to swim.

Tell them never to jump on other kids or try to push their heads down in the act of having fun.

Never allow kids to dive or jump into rivers and lakes before inspecting for any rocks or logs.

Make sure that there is a kiddie pool and that young kids go there. BUT, adult supervision should still be provided.

Make sure that the kids take special precautions when riding on water slides, water parks, and any other recreational centers. These include no running, pushing or monkeying around.

When on the beach, do NOT allow the kids to swim when there is a high or low tide. It can be very, very dangerous.

Do not let them swim next to piers and docks, the current there is strong and unpredictable.

Tell the kids never to pretend that they are drowning, because the next time they really are, no one will believe them.

It is always helpful if you know and teach your kid CPR. It could save someone's life.
