WATER SAFETY

25 June 2009

SIX WAYS TO KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE

  • ALWAYS watch your children around water and never be distracted by phone calls, doorbells, or chores.

  • Be sure all doors leading to the pool area are locked (including pet doors) and install alarms on all doors lading to the pool area.

  • When jumping into the pool, jump feet first.

  • Do not consider young children to be drown proof because they have had swimming lessons.

  • Keep rescue equipment by the pool: ring buoy, reaching pole, and phone.

  • Learn CPR. Contact Apple Valley Fire Protection District at (760)247-7618 for information on classes.
