Summer Water Safety Toolkit

Water Safety is all about Layers of Protection

Water safety advocates developed the concept of Layers of Protection because no one single protective measure keeps your family safe. Instead, it's the layering of multiple protections that helps keep people safe in, on and around water. Watch this video from the National Drowning Prevention Alliance to learn about the 5 layers of protection that help keep loved ones safe. ​Keep scrolling for downloadable water safety tools.

One of the best ways to improve water safety is to have a responsible adult vigilantly watching kids who are at play in or near any water features such as a pool, waterpark, or open water. Using a Water Watcher tag system helps keep track of who is responsible at any given moment for watching people in and around water.

Home Pool Safety Checklist

Picture
Children who have access to water are at most risk. Does your pool have safety barriers? Is proper rescue equipment available, and do you know how to safely use it? Do you have an emergency action plan specific to your property? Use this checklist to help make your pool as safe as possible. You can also book a Home Pool Safety Assessment.

Pool Barrier Checklist

Picture
​The CDC has determined that in addition to vigilant supervision, pool barriers are the best way to prevent unsupervised access to water. Use this checklist to routinely check that pool fences and gates, including latches and hinges, are in good working order. This simple routine done regularly could help save the life of a child.

Be prepared for an emergency by posting a sign with your address. Don't assume that a guest calling 911 will know or remember your address so that they can correctly direct EMT to your pool. Edit document with your address, print, laminate and post near the pool.
