Summer is hear at last

Over the next few weeks paddling pools all around the country will be filled with water. Kids of all ages will be having fun, filling pools with toys and inflatable.

But remember paddling pools filled with toys can also be a magnetic fascination to young children, drawing them to the water and the unforeseen dangers the paddling pool can hold. It is not only the two week summer holiday when you should be at your most vigilant, you back garden can also possess the same dangers.

Remember:

• Instruct babysitters about potential pool hazards to young children and about the use of protective devices, such as door alarms and latches. Emphasize the need for constant supervision.
• Paddling Pools should be emptied  and toys removed at the end of play.
• Never leave a child unsupervised near a paddling pool. During social gatherings at or near a pool, appoint a "designated watcher" to protect young children from pool accidents. Adults may take turns being the "watcher." When adults become preoccupied, children are at risk. 
•  If a child is missing, check the pool first. Seconds count in preventing death or disability. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom and surface, as well as the pool area.
• Do not allow a young child in the pool without an adult. 
• Do not consider young children to be drown proof because they have had swimming lessons. Children must be watched closely while swimming. 
  Do not use flotation devices as a substitute for supervision. 
• Learn CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Babysitters and other caretakers, such as grandparents and older siblings, should also know CPR. 
• Keep rescue equipment by the pool. Be sure a telephone is poolside with emergency numbers posted nearby. 
  Remove toys from in and around the pool when it is not in use. Toys can attract young children to the pool.
• Never prop open the gate to a pool barrier
