Home Pools - Supervision

Children have the right to be protected.

It is your responsibility as an adult to ensure the children you are caring for are safe. Unfortunately, the majority of children who drown are alone and unsupervised, or in the care of other children at the time.

Supervision without any distractions is the single most important factor in protecting children in and around water. ALWAYS SUPERVISE CHILDREN NEAR WATER - ALWAYS!

Proper supervision in and around water means a responsible adult keeping young children in their care both within sight and within reach.

Statistics reveal that almost all pre-school drowning have a lack of supervision as a common factor. The tune it takes for young children to get into trouble is remarkably short, a matter of seconds. By answering the telephone, fetching a towel or change of clothing, a life could be lost.

Always remain vigilant
