WATER SAFETY
5 KEYS TO DROWNING PREVENTION

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for infants and young children between the ages of 1-4. As a drowning prevention resource for your family, ISR recommends a multi-layered approach towards water safety in your home.

Effective Supervision

The most critical line of defense is adult supervision. No level of aquatic skill can replace active supervision. If your child is ever missing, look in the water first.

Pool Fences

Install a permanent 4-sided fence with self-locking gates. Ensure that the pool fence is at least 3-5 feet from the pool edge.

Survival Swimming Lessons

A moment's inattention does not have to cost a child his life. ISR's Self-Rescue® training is an added layer of protection, teaching your child water survival skills in a completely safe environment.

Learn CPR

If an emergency happens, it is essential parents and families are prepared. Learn to

perform CPR on children and adults and remember to update those skills regularly.

Even if your child has had swimming lessons, no child is drown-proof

and there is absolutely NO substitute for adult supervision.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "DROWN-PROOF". PLEASE MAKE SURE TO ALWAYS USE PROPER SUPERVISION IN AND AROUND THE WATER.
