Did you know that every year, about 160 people drown in Ontario? Drowning is fast and silent, but every drowning death is
preventable with water safety knowledge.
Here are 4 important water safety tips to prevent water-related injuries:
- Learn to swim. In Canada, learning how to swim is a life skill. The City of Ottawa offers swimming lessons for all ages and abilities.
- Have a swim buddy. Don’t go swimming alone! Always make sure you are with a friend or family member.
- Stay alert. When you are the designated water watcher you must always be alert and aware of the water. Avoid distractions which can take your focus away from the water.
- Layers of protection. Backyard pools with self-latching gates, life jackets, and close supervision of children are all layers of protection that help prevent drowning.
