Put toilet seat locks on toilets to keep toddlers from getting into them. Or, put safety handles on bathroom doors so toddlers cannot get into bathrooms.

NEVER leave a young child alone near a bucket of water, a small pool of water, or a toilet. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water!

Learn to swim and teach your children how to swim. Supervise children in pools, even if they know how to swim.

NEVER leave children alone near a pool or water, not even for a few seconds.

Check the depth of the water before diving in.

Don’t dive into water that is less than 9 feet deep. Never dive into an above-ground pool.

Keep pools clean and free of debris, such as broken glass. Keep drains covered to prevent hair from being sucked into the drain, which could keep heads held under water.

Do not be alone in a Jacuzzi or hot tub (or even take a bath) if you have been drinking alcohol or after taking a sedative. You could fall asleep and drown.

Put a fence (at least 4 feet high) around swimming pools. Use self-closing and self-latching fence gates. Install the latch too high for a child to reach.

Do not leave gates open to the yard. Do not assume that yard workers and other people close and lock gates, either. It is best to check.
