Water Safety Tips

* Child-proof doors to prevent toddlers from going outside

unsupervised.

* Install alarms that go off after a child opens a door or

window.

* A fence with self-latching gate should be installed around a

pool.

* Pool covers or nets can be used to keep children out of the

water. An alarm can alert an adult if a child goes near water without

permission.
