Keeping your child safe around<br />
water this summer …<br />
Swimming pool safety<br />
Each year, millions of Britons jet<br />
off to sunnier climes and stay in<br />
accommodation with swimming pools.<br />
It is essential to consider a number of<br />
factors when booking your holiday to<br />
ensure you keep your children safe<br />
around the water.<br />
• Before you go away consider enrolling<br />
your children in swimming lessons to<br />
help them learn this life-saving skill<br />
• Check pool safety arrangements for<br />
where you’re staying in advance. For<br />
example, check if your accommodation<br />
has alifeguard on •duty at all times<br />
• Be cautious about booking private<br />
villas that don’t have safety fencing –<br />
young children are curious and can<br />
easily wander off and jump in to an<br />
unsupervised pool<br />
• While you’re away:<br />
Always supervise children near<br />
water and keep aclose eye on them<br />
when they’re in the pool<br />
Be aware that children don’t shout<br />
out for help when they’re drowning, so<br />
it’s vital that you’re vigilant at all times<br />
Understand that inflatables are not a<br />
substitute for supervision or swimming<br />
ability *1<br />
And on the beach ….<br />
So, where is a safe place to swim?<br />
• On alifeguarded beach<br />
• Ared and yellow flag indicates a safe<br />
place to swim or use inflatables<br />
• Ared flag is a sign for danger and<br />
means NO SWIMMING. Never go in the<br />
water when the red flag is flying<br />
• Always be aware that there may be<br />
hazards that you cannot see<br />
Young children should always be<br />
supervised when on the beach. Make<br />
sure you explain to your children that<br />
it’s not safe to swim on their own in<br />
the sea. *2<br />
