Notes
In the upcoming summer months it is important for children to be able to prevent injures by recognizing a dangerous situation.
It is important to:
1. Only swim where swimming is permitted.
2. Only swim where a lifeguard is present ore if ti is "Swim at your own risk" be accompanies by an adult or guardian.
3. Be aware of how deep the water is.
4. Do not dive into shallow water.
5. Always walk.
6. listen to the lifeguard on duty.
7. Not any other rules specific to the pool.
In recognizing a dangerous situation:
1. One must see if the victim is actively or passively drowning.
-Actively drowning looks like the person is splashing or calling for help in some way.
-Passively drowning looks like the person is not moving at all. The could be floating face down or at the bottom.
2. If a person in active, perform a reaching or throwing assist with any object that floats.
3. If the person is passive, call EMS. NO ONE UNTRAINED SHOULD EVER GET IN AFTER A VICTIM. This is putting yourself in danger.
By following theses steps, you are insuring your own safety.
