To be water safe parents and guardians must keep a keen eye on your children at all times, know lifesaving water skills like CPR, know how to swim and ensure that the appropriate safety equipment is installed in your pool or spa. Pool alarms and self-latching gates can help keep the little ones from getting into the pool area. Installing a 4-foot fence around residential swimming pools and spas is another simple water-safety step that can help prevent tragic accidents. Families with swimming pools especially should adopt as many water-safety steps as possible.

With springtime upon us, we need to remind all families about the simple water-safety steps they can take to ensure they are safe this summer and year-round. Adding just one extra safety step around the water can make all the difference. You can never know which safety step will save a life – until it does.
