For Children Ages 1–4, Drowning Is the Leading Cause of Death. 💧

This statistic reminds us why water safety needs to be part of every family’s routine. Young children can get into trouble around water quickly, which makes active supervision essential.

Parents and caregivers can take important steps to help prevent drowning:
Keep children within arm’s reach when they are in or near water.
Assign a responsible adult as the designated Water Watcher.
Install four-sided pool fencing with a self-closing, self-latching gate.
Enroll children in age-appropriate swim lessons.

Drowning is preventable, and every safety measure matters. Save and share this reminder to help more families learn how to stay safer around water.

Transitions between activities can be challenging for some children with ADHD. Giving a simple reminder about what comes next can help them feel prepared and understand what to expect during swim lessons.

Try these practical tips:
Explain the next activity before finishing the current one.
Use short, clear reminders, such as “One more kick, then we’ll practice floating.”
Keep a predictable routine whenever possible.

Every child is different. Be patient, adjust to their needs, and always maintain active supervision around water.

Show, Don’t Just Tell 💧🏊

Some children may find it easier to follow a swimming skill when they can see it demonstrated. For children with ADHD and other beginners, showing a movement alongside a short, clear instruction can help make practice easier to follow.

Try these simple steps:

Demonstrate the movement first.

Give one clear instruction at a time.

Let the child practice at their own pace.

Every child learns differently. Stay patient, encourage progress, and always maintain active supervision around water.

Being There Is Just the Beginning. 💧

When it comes to water safety, being nearby is important but active supervision means staying focused on the water and the people in it.

Keep your eyes on children at all times.

Put away your phone and other distractions.

Take turns with another responsible adult if you need a break.

Being present means paying attention. Save this reminder and share it with other families.
