Bath time should be the safest part of the day.
Over 75% of bathtub drownings involve kids under 5 — and 90% happen without supervision.

💧 Never leave your child alone in the tub
💧 Stay within arm's reach — always
💧 Empty the tub right after bath time

Supervision is everything. Share this with a parent — it could save a child's life. 💙

Water is everywhere. So is the risk.
The bathtub. The pool. The bucket in the garage. Drowning doesn't wait for a beach trip — it can happen anywhere water collects, in seconds and in silence.
Here's how to make your home safer:
💧 Secure every barrier — pool fences with self-closing/self-latching gates, door alarms, and locked access to any standing water.
💧 Empty it when you're done — buckets, kiddie pools, coolers. Even a few inches of water is enough.
💧 Supervise like it's your only job — no phones, no "just a minute." Active, uninterrupted eyes on kids near any water source.

Water doesn't need to be deep to be dangerous. Know someone with little ones at home? Share this post — you could be the reason a family stays safer. Be a water safety advocate. 💙

Summer's winding down. Drowning prevention doesn't.

As pools get less use and routines get looser, one small habit still matters: empty it when you're done.

Kiddie pools. Bathtubs. Buckets. Coolers. Any container holding water is a risk to a curious toddler — even after the pool days slow down. Children can drown in just a couple inches of water, often silently and in seconds. (CDC)

Before you walk away from any water:
🪣 Empty it
🚿 Flip it over
🔒 Store it out of reach
The season may be ending — but the habit shouldn't. 💛
