Every private swimming pool should be surrounded by a child-proof fence and be fitted with a safety net to prevent children from drowning.
A backyard pool offers limitless summer fun but comes with the enormous responsibility of keeping our children safe.
Teach children that water can be dangerous and that they should never go near or into water without an adult present. Consider enrolling your child in swimming lessons. Even if you do not live near water, your child will eventually be near it, whether on holiday or at a friend’s house. Swimming lessons cannot “drown-proof” anyone, but according to a recent policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics , it does decrease the risk of drowning.
