Help keep your children safe in Jersey City with these important water safety tips from British Swim School Hudson Waterfront:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Give children your undivided attention when they are in the pool or any body of water, including baby or \u201ckiddie\u201d pools, and bathtubs.<\/li>\n
  2. Install a four-sided safety fence around your pool with a self-latching and self-closing gate.<\/li>\n
  3. Teach and enforce water safety rules, including no running, no pushing, no dunking, never diving in the shallow end, and never swimming alone.<\/li>\n
  4. Never let kids walk on pool covers, and always remove pool covers completely before letting kids in or near the\u00a0water.<\/li>\n
  5. Always keep a safety ring with a rope attached next to the pool<\/li>\n
  6. Have a phone charged and nearby in case of emergencies.<\/li>\n
  7. Learn CPR and first aid, and know the signs of drowning and secondary drowning.<\/li>\n
  8. Keep children out of spas and hot tubs, they can easily overheat and drown.<\/li>\n
  9. Don\u2019t use inflatable toys, swim wings or other \u201cfloaties\u201d in place of a lifejacket. They are not approved as safety devices and can easily deflate or fall off.<\/li>\n
  10. Enroll your child in swimming lessons in the Jersey City area that emphasize water safety and teach water survival skills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
