Touch Supervision = Effective Drowning Prevention

Children can drown in a matter of seconds. Parental and caregiver supervision is essential for drowning prevention. Proper care requires the supervising adult to be "within an arm's length" while near water, or touch supervision. It is also important to:

• Never leave children alone in or near water
• Remove all toys and floats from water after use
• Do not use air-filled swimming aids as a substitute for life vests
