If the kids are swimming, YOU must supervise.

SWIMMING SAFETY TIPS

There Is No Substitute for Active Supervision

Actively supervise children in and around open bodies of water, giving them your undivided attention.

Whenever infants or toddlers are in or around water, an adult should be within arm’s reach to provide active supervision. We know it’s hard to get everything done without a little multitasking, but this is the time to avoid distractions of any kind. If children are near water, then they should be the only thing on your mind. Small children can drown in as little as one inch of water.

When there are several adults present and children are swimming, use the Water Watcher card strategy, which designates an adult as the Water Watcher for a certain amount of time (such as 15-minute periods) to prevent lapses in supervision.

Before you head out on vacation:

Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your house.

If you live in the city of Dallas request a home check while you are away. To complete a CITIZEN REQUEST requesting a zone patrol: download StackBench app to your phone. The QR code is listed on the Dallas Police page.

Lock it up! Door, windows, cars, etc. Double check ALL of them.
Stop the mail, the newspaper, and anything else you have delivered, like prescription medication. Don’t put your garbage cans out or if you do have your neighbor bring them in for you.
Make sure your house, yard, etc. don’t look like you are away. Don’t leave items laying around that could be used to break into your house.
