Supervision is Key
- An adult should always be actively watching when kids are in the pool.
- Designate a "Water Watcher" to stay alert and avoid distractions.
- Keep younger kids within arm's reach at all times.
Teach Water Skills
- If your kids aren't strong swimmers, invest in lessons before vacation.
- Show them how to get out of the pool safely.
