Water Safety Tips

    Find Family Friendly Activities

    By safety expert Natania Blumenkehl, co-owner of Baby Be Safe

    The second most common cause of accidental death in children about 5 years and under is drowning. A child could drown in just 2 inches of water, which means, a bucket of water left from mopping, a toilet bowl, or even a bowl of water for an animal. Would you know what to do?

    Drowning Safety Steps:

    • Make sure the scene is safe
    • Only take the victim out of the water if it is safe for you to do so
    • Assess victim for a response
    • If no response, send someone to call 911
    • Assess for breathing
    • If no breathing, start the steps to CPR; if you don’t know how the 911 operator can help you
