Follow these guidelines to keep your children safe around the water. General Swimming/Water Safety Actively and closely supervise your children when they are around pools, the ocean, lakes or rivers. Never leave your child alone around water, even for a moment. Take turns with other adults to keep a constant eye on the children. Keep a cell phone nearby in case of an emergency.   Enroll your child in swimming lessons taught by a certified instructor. However, don't assume swimming lessons or life jackets make your child "drownproof." These precautions are important, but they cannot substitute for constant supervision. Learn infant and child cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In less than two hours, you can learn effective methods that can give a fighting chance to a child who has fallen into water and become unconscious. Contact your local hospitals, fire departments and recreation departments for CPR training. Make sure kids swim only in areas designated for swimming. If your child is an adolescent who has completed swimming lessons, require that they swim with a buddy. Do not let your child dive into any body of water unless you know the depth of the water and it is at least nine feet deep because if they hit their head on the bottom, it can cause very serious injuries. Do not allow your child to swim during thunderstorms or lightening storms. Do not let your child play rough in the water  Do not mix alcohol with diving, swimming or boating.
