Water Safety 101: What Every Parent Should Know
May 28, 2025
Water is fun, but it can also be dangerous without the right precautions. Every parent should be equipped with water safety basics to protect their child around pools, beaches, and baths.
- Supervision is non-negotiable. Always keep eyes on your child—whether they're in the pool or just playing nearby. Even strong swimmers need supervision.
- Install proper fencing around home pools to prevent unsupervised access.
- Learn CPR. It’s a life-saving skill every caregiver should have.
- Enrol in swim lessons early. Swimming is not just a skill—it’s a safety tool that empowers children to protect themselves.
Water safety isn’t seasonal—it’s a year-round responsibility that begins at home.
