Pool Party Tips

Did you know?

64% of children drowned in North Texas when an adult was within eyesight.
40% of drownings occur in a backyard pool and another 30% occur in a community or public pool.

ALWAYS supervise kids in and around the water.
Learn your child’s ability in and around the water.
Assign a water watcher (an adult that commits their time to actively supervise everyone in the water).
Always use a US Coast Guard approved life jacket on kids (specially for non-swimmers). Make sure if children take off their life jacket to go inside, they put them on before getting back in the water.
Learn CPR.
Teach kids NEVER to swim alone.
