For children, a day spent splashing in water is perfect summer fun. For parents, water play, wading and swimming also means staying alert and keeping eyes on children at all times, so everyone can truly enjoy the fun.
Here at Bay Street Pediatrics, we are delighted to see that increased water safety awareness has led to a steady decline in drowning deaths over the last 30 years. Our providers stress that supervision, swim lessons and CPR are three interrelated ways to keep children safe around the water.
