Three Ways to Prevent Seattle Indoor Drowning Accidents

Here are three ways to help reduce the risk of drowning in your home and other places this winter:
-
Give bathing children your full attention.
Don’t let yourself get distracted when babies, toddlers, or young children are in the bathtub. Pay full attention to what they’re doing, and stay close enough to reach out and touch the child at all times if they’re under the age of 4.
-
Empty containers and turn them upside down.
If a small child falls into a bucket, wading pool, basin, or other container, they might drown. A drowning can happen in as little as an inch of water. Keep an eye on these containers while using them. When you’re done, empty containers and turn them upside-down.
-
Keep the pool alarm active.
Even a “winterized” outdoor swimming pool can pose a risk for children. Make sure all gates, doors, and windows leading to the pool area are locked, and that they have active alarms placed on them.
