Pool Party and Beach Safety Tip

Summer is here so pool parties and beach time is in full swing. If you have a pool party make sure more than one parent is on pool watch. No book or magazine reading during this time. Attention should be on the pool. Do not have people who have consumed alcohol as pool monitors. Pool monitors should NOT drink alcohol while watching the children in the pool. At least one person at the pool party, who hasn't been drinking alcohol, should know CPR. If your child is going to a pool party you might want to stay if lots of children will be there.
At the beach watch your children carefully. There can be dangerous undertows. Lifeguards are great, but monitor your own children in the water. The lifeguards have lots of people to watch. There should be absolutely NO horse play where one child puts the head of another in the water!
