30 JUL 2010 - Staying Safe in the Summer

POOL SAFETY

"Based on the most recent annual statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were more than 3,400 accidental drownings in the United States," says Scheff. "It's particularly alarming," he notes, "that more than one in five fatal drowning victims were children 14 years old and younger." To protect children from this danger, the Center for Injury Research and Policy recommends:

bulletHave children receive professional swimming instruction when they are 4 to 5 years old.
bulletEnsure that an adult is always present when children are swimming.
bulletInstruct youngsters to enter shallow water feet first and to never dive into water that is less than nine feet deep.
bulletRemove toys from the pool once children are done swimming; otherwise, youngsters could be tempted to reach for a toy and fall in.
bulletAvoid using inflatable swimming aids such as "water wings;" these are measurably inferior to approved life vests.
