Water Safety Tips for Parents of Young Children

• Keep your baby in your arms at all times.

• Dress her in a swim diaper that prevents fecal matter from leaking into the pool -- a major health risk for other swimmers.

• An infant can drown in as little as an inch of water in less than 30 seconds, so beware of all water hazards, including inflatable baby pools, buckets, toilets, and tubs.

• Your toddler may now feel so comfortable in the water that he thinks he can swim by himself. Don't leave him alone, even for a minute. He needs constant adult supervision around water.

• Stress basic pool safety, like not running near the pool and only going into the water with Mommy or Daddy.

• Avoid water wings, air-filled swimsuits, and inflatable flotation toys. He will sink if they deflate, and they may give him -- and you -- a false sense of security. Use a flotation device that is a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

• Don't leave toys in the pool after he gets out. He may be tempted to reach for them.
