Simple Measures Can Prevent Pool Tragedies
With summer fast approaching drowning stories are going to become more and more prevalent.The Lakeland Ledger reported a 5 year old Lake Alfred girl drowned in her family pool while her family was nearby. A tragic accident that is difficult to avoid but the attempt should still be made. Florida law requires that pool areas be protected from people for the obvious reason that people like to go swimming.
Younger people do not understand how a tragedy can occur in a pool so quickly, so preventing access by these younger people without supervision is a must. Always watch your children (and any other children) while they swim. It only take a minute for tragedy to occur. Make sure that barriers are placed, such as screens and fences which limit access. Learning CPR and basic water safety can help as well, but nothing is as good as keeping your eyes on the kids.
