Unlike Eastern Canadians, we call them cabins, not cottages, in our part of the world but we all want to keep our kids safe this summer.
Here are some tips from the Lifesaving Society of Canada on how to keep your kids — and yourself — safe:
At pool parties, the adults often chat among themselves while the kids are swimming. It's easy to become distracted while assuming someone else is keeping an eye on the children. Designate one adult to be watching the kids at all times instead of participating in the conversation. The Lifesaving Society suggests taking 15-to 20-minute shifts and then actively handing over kid-watching duties to the next adult.
Everyone needs to know how to swim. If you or your children don't know how to swim, check with your provincial Lifesaving Society to find out where you can take the Swim to Survive program. It's not a substitute for swimming lessons but it will teach the minimum skills needed to survive an unexpected fall into water, including treading water for one minute and swimming 50 metres.
