Just like many other activities, swimming also has a downside. It is called drowning! Every year in the US, 4,000 people die because of they do not know water safety or how to swim at all. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional death worldwide, and it is 5th overall in the US. This is scary!<\/p>\n<p>The best thing you can do to prevent drowning is to learn about water safety. We have compiled a list that you and your family should seriously follow:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"simpleList itemsCollectionContainer blockWrap_a32a53991e4c4f67bd5dc81a8fa6b590 fsMed txa0 bmg0 lstSyNrmlzd bw0 sy0\">\n<div class=\"blockContent block_a32a53991e4c4f67bd5dc81a8fa6b590 layoutA\">\n<div class=\"itemsCollectionContent items_a32a53991e4c4f67bd5dc81a8fa6b590 listView cols1 itmBw0 itmSy0 txa0\" data-columns=\"1\">\n<div class=\"item itemPreview\">\n<div class=\"itemContent\">\n<h2 class=\"contentTitle\">Water safety tips<\/h2>\n<div class=\"itemInnerContent\">\n<ul>\n<li>Swim in selected areas overseen by lifeguards.<\/li>\n<li>Never swim alone; even if you are swimming at a public pool or a lifeguard protected beach, always swim with a buddy.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that everyone in your family learns to swim well.<\/li>\n<li>Never leave your child alone near water.<\/li>\n<li>If you or your child is an inexperienced swimmer, always wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life-jackets or floatation devices that are not easily removed.<\/li>\n<li>Always stay within arm\u2019s reach of your child and avoid distractions when you are supervising them in and around water.<\/li>\n<li>Make rules for your family and implement them without fail. For instance, set limits based on each individual\u2019s capability and do not let kids play around suction and drains fittings.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid alcohol just before swimming. Alcohol impairs balance and coordination; affects swimming skills; and decreases the body\u2019s ability to remain warm.<\/li>\n<li>In case of emergency, call 9-1-1 or any local emergency number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To understand these water safety tips more practically, you should consider taking swimming classes.
