Water Safety

As we get into summer-let me stress the importance of pool/water safety.  If you have a pool or if your child will be staying at a house where there is a pool-there needs to be some safeguard to prevent your child from reaching the water.  Do not rely on door locks alone.  Have an additional measure of safety.

One of the best safety items available is called "katchakid"-www.katchakid.com.  Check out this website.  After my residency training working in the ER at Childrens Medical Center of Dallas and seeing multiple near drownings and drownings-pool safety is a must.  Almost all drowning events are preventable.
