Never take your eyes off of children in the pool or any body of water — even for a moment!

If you're in a group, appoint a designated "water watcher," taking turns with other adults.

While supervising, avoid distractions like the telephone or reading.

Maintain visual contact with the children and the water.

Teach children to swim beginning at age four.

Don't rely on water wings or other inflatable toys.

If your child can't swim, stay within arms reach.

Use only U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices.

Tell children to stay away from drains and tie up long hair securely to avoid entanglement.

Keep gates to the pool area latched.

Look for life-saving equipment by the pool.

Learn infant and child CPR. Call your local American Red Cross for classes near you.

Make sure children swim within designated swimming areas of oceans, lakes and rivers.

Never allow a child to dive in water less than nine feet deep.

Never leave children alone in the bathtub. Even children in baby bath seats and rings must be within arms reach every second.

Keep toilet lids down, and doors to bathrooms and laundry rooms closed.
