Pool and water safety is a major concern for parents of small children, especially if they have a private pool in their yard. But pool and water safety extends beyond a private pool in the back yard. Pool and water safety is important if your family enjoys any sort of water sports, like boating, fishing, surfing, sailing, or even camping on lakes. Pool and water safety is also important if you live near a river or an irrigation ditch. Pool and water safety is also a concern for simple pass times, like taking a bath or playing in a wading pool. Pool and water safety is always important, and you and your children should be aware of basic rules for pool and water safety.

The first key part of pool and water safety is blocking access to any unsupervised body of water, whether that body of water is a pool, a pond, a river, or a ditch. You can block access to these bodies of water with fences, walls, or simple pool alarms. The second key part of pool and water safety is teaching your children how to swim. Even young babies, as small as a year old, can learn the basics of swimming, such as how to float, or staying calm if you fall into a pool. Check out local pubic swimming pools to see if they offer courses to small children.
