Water Safety Lesson: How To Go Swimming

July 31, 2020 |

Five family water safety rules from The Whole Hand Rules to teach your preschool-aged kids.
Teach your kids to know and do all five of these behaviors before going near a pool, boat or other water.
  1. Wait for a grown-up
  2. Wear a life-jacket
  3. Only grown-ups should open barriers
  4. A grown-up should watch you
  5. Learn to swim

These water safety rules are part of the “layers of protection” that prevent childhood drowning.

Learn more about the layers of protection or take the water safety quiz at https://www.colinshope.org
