Water safety is one of the most critical concerns during summer. Experts recommend assigning one adult to actively supervise children near pools or other water bodies. This person should avoid distractions like phones. Children who are not strong swimmers should wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets instead of relying on inflatable floaties. Additionally, pools should be surrounded by a fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate to prevent unsupervised access. Nearly 70% of drownings among young children occur during non-swim times, making constant vigilance essential.
