Infant/Child CPR: Have an emergency action plan prepared so that in the event of an accident you are able to stay calm and react efficiently and quickly. It is important all parents and caregivers are certified in Infant/Child CPR and first aid procedures.

Swimming safety skills: If infants and toddlers are relaxed in the water, they can hold their breath and provide parents with a few extra seconds to pick them up out of the water. As the children progress past the water adjustment stage, it is important to teach skills such as jumping in, turning around and swimming back to the side, recovering up for a breath and rolling to the back for a breath. These skills provide additional protection should an unsupervised water entry occur.
