Drowning is the leading cause of injury-related death for children under five. However, it is 100 percent preventable. Keep your family safe in and around water by following these important safety reminders: 

• A responsible adult should always supervise young children.
• Adults should avoid all distractions and actively monitor kids in the water.
• Keep small children within arm's reach.
• Install "child-proof" fencing, locks, alarms, or sensors to keep children from entering pool areas.
• Teach your kids how to swim or float on their backs for air.
• Be sure rescue equipment and a telephone are nearby in the event of an emergency.
• Learn CPR.
