(0)Water Safety Outdoors
Kids need constant supervision around water — whether the water is in a bathtub, a wading pool, an ornamental fish pond, a swimming pool, a spa, the beach, or a lake.
- Always stay within an arm’s reach of your child when he or she is in or near water
- Ensure that pool gates and fences are secure and in working order
- Gates should be self-closing and self-latching, and the latch should be out of kids' reach
