Water Safety


Whether it's bath time or having fun in the backyard wading pool, kids love to splash and play in water! However, drowning is the #2 cause of death among children in Canada, so while water can be fun, it can also be dangerous.

In most cases, children who drowned were not properly supervised.

See below for more information on drowning prevention techniques, including supervision, protection and preparation.
