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
