Young children can sometimes go outside unnoticed. If a child is missing, check the pool or spa area first. 

Prevent drowning with:  

- Adult supervision at all times (including when visiting others’ homes).  

- Swim safety classes and lessons starting at a young age. 

- A four-sided fence at least four feet tall that fully encloses the pool, with self-closing and self-latching gate.​
