Layers of Protection are your best defense against water accidents:
- Supervision: Keep eyes on the water at all times, no distractions!
- Barriers: Be sure that pools are fenced with self-closing and self-locking gates.
- Water Competency: Ensure everyone is equipped with basic swimming skills, like floating and treading.
- Life Jackets: Wear USCG-approved life jackets in open water.
- Emergency Prep: Know CPR and have a plan in case of emergency.
