Water hazards aren’t just at pools.
They’re in bathtubs, buckets, fountains, backyard ponds, even toilets. That’s what makes them so easy to miss.
For young children, it only takes a small amount of water and a brief moment of distraction for a serious situation to happen. That’s why awareness matters everywhere, not just during swim time.
Keep doors to bathrooms closed and use toilet locks for toddlers. Empty buckets, kiddie pools, and containers immediately after use.
And most importantly, layer safety: supervision + barriers + swim skills.
Water safety starts at home, not just at the pool.
