Layers of Protection
It can only take a moment! In the time it takes to reply to a text or apply sunscreen. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for infants and young children between the ages of 1-4.
Effective Supervision
The most critical line of defense is adult supervision. No level of aquatic skill can replace active supervision. If your child is ever missing, look in the water first.
Survival Swim Lessons
A moment's inattention does not have to cost a child his life. ISR's Self-Rescue training is an added layer of protection, teaching your child water survival skills in a safe environment.
CPR
If an emergency happens, it is essential parents and families are prepared. Learn to perform CPR on children and adults and remember to update those skills regularly.
Pool Fences
Install a permanent 4-sided fence with self-locking gates. Ensure that the pool fence is at least 3-5 feet from the pool edge. Remove patio furniture that may be pushed or pulled and used as a ladder.
Alarms
Make sure all doors and windows leading to the pool are locked and alarmed. Alarms should indicate that someone is in the pool area or has opened/closed a door or gate, or is trying to climb the fence.
Teacher Water Safety Toolkit
The Teacher Water Safety Toolkit is a series of water safety resources, classroom activities, and parent information to help teachers advocate for water safety and drowning prevention throughout the school year.
