- Safety precautions for inflatable water parkSource: By:wl-inflatable Posted:10-20-2023 Views:
Water park, pools, lakes, ponds and beaches mean summer fun and cool relief from hot weather. But water also can be dangerous for kids if parents don't take the proper precautions. Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning. The good news is there are many ways to keep your kids safe in the water park — and make sure that they take the right precautions when they're on their own.
Keeping Kids Safe Kids need constant supervision around water park— whether the water is in a bathtub, a wading pool, an ornamental fish pond, a swimming pool, a spa, the beach, or a lake.
How to keep kids safe in water park? Young children are especially at risk — they can drown in less than 2 inches of water. That means drowning can happen where you'd least expect it — the sink, the toilet bowl, fountains, buckets, inflatable pools, or small bodies of standing water around your home, such as ditches filled with rainwater. Always watch children closely when they're in or near any water.
If you're not a swimmer yourself, it's a good idea to take lessons and learn how to swim. And kids over 4 years old should learn, too. Kids who are younger also might benefit from swimming lessons, but check with your doctor first.
Don't assume that a child who knows how to swim isn't at risk for drowning. All kids need to be supervised in the Water park, no matter what their swimming skills. And infants, toddlers, and weak swimmers should have an adult swimmer within arm's reach to provide "touch supervision."
