 As more children benefit from the warm weather with a drop in the share,
 it is important for parents to be on guard against one of the leading
 causes of accidental death in children: drowning. Fortunately, there are
 always a quantity of ways parents can keep their children safe-and new
 legislation will help. The legislation will encourage states to require
 protection-such as fencing and devices that reduce drain suction-around
 pools and hot showers.

 You can find 2,400 pool-related drownings from different causes among
 children aged 1 to 14 every year. Many parents don't recognize that one of
 the most alarming dangers to kids in pools and hot tubs is drain
 entrapment, which occurs when a body or hair gets attached to an drain in
 a pool or hot tub.

 Drowning is the greatest accidental-injury related reason for death among
 children 1 to 4 in the U.S. It's the next greatest killer of kiddies ages
 1 to 14. In 2002 alone, 838 children died consequently of accidental
 drowning-enough children to fill a little primary school.

 Safe Kiddies Global, with help from Johnson & Johnson, works to show
 people how exactly to reduce drain entrapment. They give these tips:

 a Warn kiddies about the risks of drain entrapment and teach them to
 remain from the drain.

 a Install equipment to avoid entrapment if you own a pool or hot tub.
 Protective measures include anti-entrapment drain addresses, multiple
 drains in new construction and a device to turn off the pump and quickly
 release the suction, must entrapment happen.

 an Earnestly supervise kiddies around water and have a phone nearby to
 call for aid in a crisis.

 a Ensure your share has four-sided fencing. It's believed that use and
 proper installation of four-sided fence could reduce 50 to 90 percent of
 childhood residential pool drownings or near drownings. Also use a self-
 closing, self-latching entrance to stop a kid from wandering into the pool
 area unsupervised. Hot showers should really be covered and closed when
 not in use.

 a Install a door alarm, a window alarm or both to warn you if your son or
 daughter walks into the pool area unsupervised.
