On a summer afternoon, there is no better way to cool off than to head to the local pool or lake and go for a swim. It’s a joy to watch young children discover water. Good family fun all around! It’s not news, though, that water can pose a risk to people of any age, and this is especially true for young children. Even just at home in the bathtub, the risk of drowning is present. In this episode, we’ll discuss risks around, in and on the water and strategies for keeping your child safe, whether at play or just getting clean.

Joining Pam on this episode are Brittany, Dave and Liane as well as our expert Barbara Byers.
  • Layers of protection are important, including supervision, stopping access to water, wearing protection gear like lifejackets, swimming lessons and knowing how to react if an incident happens.
  • Swimming lessons are important, not only for your child's safety, but for you and other adults.
  • Drowning doesn’t happen like on TV, where splashing and calls for help attract attention. Drowning is silent, quick and can happen in very little water.
