Knowing how to be safe around a pool can save a life
Spring has sprung and everybody is diving into their very blue pools.
As refreshing as a swimming pool can be, one needs to be extra careful especially with toddlers around.
In 2017, drowning was found to be the second leading cause of death in South Africa.
Most of the drowning happens in swimming pools, bathtubs and buckets.
Unfortunately children are susceptible to accidents in their daily lives but active adult supervision and knowledge of first aid, CPR and water safety will help prevent drowning accidents and save lives.
Kids should learn how to swim at an early age to avoid drowning accidents.
Swimrite is a specialised swimming academy that teaches individuals of all ages how to swim and the importance of safety around the swimming pool.
