Swim Boca

🚨 Most parents don’t expect this… but 81% of child drownings happen in residential pools.
Not lakes. Not oceans. But in backyard pools.
Right at home.

💔 And it usually happens:
• In silence
• In seconds
• When adults think everything is fine

💡 What this really means:
A home pool doesn’t reduce risk—it increases the need for constant awareness.

⚠️ Safety isn’t optional around residential pools:
• Active, undistracted supervision
• Secure fencing + self-latching gates
• Clear “no unsupervised access” rules
• Swim skills for every child
🛟 The most familiar water is often the most overlooked.

When Dad brings the kids to swimming… Doing his best! 💜🏊🏼‍♀️

What drowning looks like.

LAYERS OF PROTECTION — Water safety isn’t just during swim time. Each layer should be used together when in or around water to help reduce the risk of drowning. You never know which layer will save a life. Find a USSSA Swim School near you: https://usswimschools.org/find-a-school/

Don’t be fooled by thinking floaties are helping your child.

*They also put your child in an upright drowning position where their mouth is at the water level making it more likely for them to choke or aspirate water.
