• Do not let children swim in a pool or other body of water without proper adult supervision.
• Have each adult be responsible for their own children so as to make sure no child is forgotten.
• Do not swim or allow children to swim if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Make sure any pool you own is protected by a tall, lockable fence.
