IN GOD WE TRUST PASCO COUNTY SHERIFF June 2017 Newsletter Florida citizens enjoy some of the best weather in the nation. Combined with the abundance of water in our state, to include swimming pools, we have the means to enjoy outdoor living almost year round. However, this love of the weather and water creates a dangerous situation for children who have not yet learned to swim. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children ages 1-4. The CPSC estimates that each year nearly 300 children ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� additional 4,000 children that age go to hospital emergency rooms due to submersion injuries in pools and spas. You can reduce the odds of child injury or death around the water, especially swimming pools, by adopting extra safety steps that include: • Make sure kids learn to swim • Ensure there is at least a four-foot high fence around all pools and use self-closing and self-latching gates • Always watch kids in and around the water • Stay away from drains • Know life-saving skills • Have a charged phone close by at all times ���������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ • Know how to perform CPR on children and adults • Ensure all pools and spas have compliant drain covers • Install an alarm on the door leading from the house to the pool • Have a wave-activated alarm in the pool • Have life-saving equipment such as life rings or reaching poles available for use For more information and resources for pool and spa safety, visit: PoolSafely.gov or RedCross.org.
