Parents, water is everywhere--especially in Florida--and drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under age 4. Children can drown in as little as one inch of water and submersions can occur in any body of water, but swimming pools top the list. In honor of Water Safety Month, here's a water safety tip: Nothing replaces adult supervision, especially for young children. Designate adult “water watchers” so there is ALWAYS an adult who knows they are responsible for watching all children in and around the pool or other bodies of water.

🌊 World Drowning Prevention Day: Safety First 🌊 Drowning is a preventable tragedy that claims thousands of lives each year. Today, we raise awareness and promote measures to prevent these incidents. A startling fact: Drowning is among the top 10 causes of death for children and young people in every region of the world. This highlights the critical need for effective prevention strategies. Education is paramount - teaching water safety skills from a young age can save lives. Constant supervision around water bodies is essential, especially for children. Improving infrastructure, such as providing safe swimming areas and lifeguard services, also plays a crucial role. Together, we can create safer environments and save lives. Let's prioritise water safety and spread the word. #worlddrowningpreventionday #watersafety #drowningprevention #childsafety #publichealth #lifeguards #safeswimming #watersafetyawareness #infrastructure #preventtragedy #educateyouth #savelives #communitysafety #healthandwellness #safetyfirst
