GENERAL AQUATIC SAFETY
Water recreation is both fun and therapeutic. However, it involves inherent risks of
injury and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package
and package insert warnings and instructions. Remember, however, that product
warnings, instructions and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water
recreation, but do not cover all risks and dangers.
Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool. Give this
person a “water watcher” tag and ask that they wear it the entire time they are in
charge of supervising children in the pool. If they need to leave for any reason, ask
this person to pass the “water watcher” tag and the supervision responsibility to
another adult.
For additional safeguards, also familiarize yourself with the following general
guidelines as well as guidelines provided by nationally recognized Safety
Organizations:
