Have a charged cell phone nearby, learn first aid and CPR, and know the signs of drowning and secondary drowning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ensure children are always supervised by an undistracted adult.<\/strong><br \/>\nDrownings can happen quickly. Make sure the supervising adult is free of distractions from phones, laptops, and magazines while they are in or around any size body of water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Child-proof your pool.<\/strong><br \/>\nInstall a pool alarm and four-sided fence with self-closing and self-latching gates that is completely separated from your home. If your child visits or spends time at any home with a pool, find out if their pool has been child-proofed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t rely on \u201cfloaties\u201d and other inflatable swimming aids to keep your child safe.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile they may be fun and colorful, these swimming aids are not approved life vests and can give parents and kids a false sense of security.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enroll your kids in swimming classes that teach water safety and survival skills.<\/strong><br \/>\nAt British Swim School of Southwest Orlando, our swimming classes teach\u00a0safety and survival skills in heated indoor pools throughout the Orlando area to children starting as young as 3 months old<strong>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Sign Up for Swimming Classes and Water Safety in Orlando<\/h2>\n<p>British Swim School of Southwest Orlando is dedicated to teaching students the critical water safety and survival skills they need to be safe in the water by\u00a0using fun games and techniques that keep kids engaged and eager to learn.
