Water Safety Message – Reading This Could Save a Life! – Academy Swim Club

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 5 in California, and the second leading cause for children under the age of 14. Follow the ‘Safer 3’, created by the Stop Drowning Now Foundation.
Safer Water – Put upper locks on doors leading to pools or other bodies of water in your yard. Be sure to lock pet doors. Put fences around pools, covers on spas, and pool alarms that sound when the surface water has been broken.
Safer Kids – Educate children to never go in or around water without an adult supervisor, and how to call 9-1-1. Teach your children how to swim, especially how to float on their backs with their clothes on.
Safer Response – Learn CPR, so that if you ever do have to rescue your child from the bottom of the pool, crucial minutes are not lost while waiting for emergency responders.
