#Healthwire: Follow these tips to protect your child:


  1. Always watch your child closely when they’re in or around water.
  2. Only let him swim in areas that have lifeguards.
  3. Never let him swim alone.
  4. Enroll yourself and your children in water-safety classes. There are even programs that introduce children 6 months to 3 years of age to the water.
  5. If you have a pool at your home, make sure it’s completely fenced.
Teenagers are more likely to have drowning incidents that are related to drugs and alcohol, so teach your kids about the risks, says Mike Gittelman, MD, co-director of the Comprehensive Children’s Injury Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. And don’t let your guard down just because the water isn’t deep. Drowning can occur in any kind of water — bathtubs, toilet bowls, ponds, or small plastic pools.
