It is important to monitor safety not only when children are in the water, but also if you are engaged in any water sports. We often go surfing with our family, and this requires special effort and attention. But it’s definitely worth it!

Those are pretty neat. A lot better than the little arm floaties I had for my kids. Great tips too. Those little people are quick and can get away so fast. I took my kids to swim lessons when they were young and then I kept a very close eye on them when we were swimming. Kids don’t know when they are in danger until it’s too late.

In reply to Hezzi-D. I didn't know that about you Heather! How fun! And I agree that learning to swim is a pretty important life skill.

Great tips. I started teachign swimming lessons when I was 16 and taught many children from infants up through teenagers. It’s never to early (or late) to learn how to swim and it’s an important skill to have. I’m also a certified lifeguard and often find myself scanning the local pools when I should be relaxing but it’s hard to relax when you can save a life.

In reply to Nina. My twins tooks swim lessons about a year ago now, and will be taking some more this June. I'm excited to see if they'll actually be swimming on their own soon. One of my girls is really close on her own to swimming (or was last summer), though the other one is more hesitant. But lessons will help them both, I'm sure. I agree that no child should be left unattended. I don't know so much about having your own pool, so my tips were more for public places, but I suppose those doors and gates should be locked too.

We have those floaters too 🙂 We don’t get to go out to the water much, and weirdly my kids aren’t too inclined to be in it. My eldest now though has requested swim classes this summer, so I’m sort of excited about bringing him and introducing him to the pool. I think it’s all about just being vigilant. No kid should be left unattended, and doors and gates to the pool should be locked.
