Water Safety for Kids
, 04 08th, 2009
Kids love to splash around in the water, and water activities are also great for exercise and for familiarizing children with swimming. But it’s also important to keep children safe while in the water, and this involves more action on the part of the parents than the child. For one, children under the age of 13 should never be left unsupervised in the water; drowning is one of the leading causes of death amongst children. Make sure that the child inflatable toys you’re child is using are safe, for example, they shouldn’t contain ropes or holes in which the child could become tangled. You should also be ready to dive in the water at any time, and be extra careful at the beach because currents and riptides can be quite dangerous.
If you’re on a boat or watercraft, ensure that you and your child are wearing a life vest at all times. Under most any circumstances, a life vest can save your life, even if you lose consciousness in the water.
