 * LEARN THE SAFETY TIPS!
   
   Here's how you can help reduce child drownings and entrapments in swimming
   pools and spas.

 * Supervise Children
 * 1
   
   
   NEVER LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED IN OR NEAR WATER.
   
   Always watch children when they’re in or near water, and never leave them
   unattended. Designate an official Water Watcher, an adult tasked with
   supervising children in the water. That should be their only task – they
   shouldn’t be reading...

 * Learn to Swim
 * 2
   
   
   TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SWIM.
   
   Swimming is not only fun, it’s a lifesaving skill. Enroll children in
   swimming lessons; there are many free or reduced-cost options available from
   your local YMCA, USA Swimming chapter or Parks and Recreation Department.

 * Know Your Drains
 * 3
   
   
   TEACH CHILDREN TO STAY AWAY FROM DRAINS.
   
   Do not play or swim near drains or suction outlets, especially in spas and
   shallow pools, and never enter a pool or spa that has a loose, broken or
   missing drain cover. Children’s hair, limbs, jewelry or bathing suits can get
   stuck in a drain or suction opening. When using a spa, be sure to locate...

 * Ensure Compliance
 * 4
   
   
   ENSURE ALL POOLS AND SPAS HAVE COMPLIANT DRAIN COVERS.
   
   Virginia Graeme Baker, after whom the Pool and Spa Safety Act is named, died
   from drowning due to a suction entrapment from a faulty drain cover. All
   public pools and spas must have drain grates or covers that meet safety
   standards to avoid incidents like the one that took Graeme’s life...
   
   Learn More

 * Install Safety Devices
 * 5
   
   
   INSTALL PROPER BARRIERS, COVERS AND ALARMS.
   
   Proper fences, barriers, alarms and covers can be lifesaving devices. A fence
   of at least four feet in height should surround the pool or spa on all sides
   and should not be climbable for children. The water should only be accessible
   through a self-closing, self-latching gate. Teach children...

 * Get Certified
 * 6
   
   
   KNOW HOW TO PERFORM CPR ON CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
   
   Often, bystanders are the first to aid a drowning victim, so learning CPR can
   help save a life. And once you’re CPR certified, make sure to keep your
   certification current. CPR classes are available through many hospitals,
   community centers, or by contacting the American Red Cross.

 * Take the Pledge

   TAKE THE PLEDGE!
   
   Before heading to the pool or spa with your family, remember to take the Pool
   Safely Pledge. This online call to action is a reminder to stay safer around
   the water.
