The American Academy Of Pediatrics Recommends Teaching Babies To Swim

Description

With summer on its way and pools opening in communities and backyards all over America, it's important to note that water poses a life-threatening risk to all children, especially curious toddler. HuffPost reports that drowning is the leading cause of accidental, injury-related death among 1- to 4-year-olds in the United States, and a leading cause of death among older children and teens. A recent report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that the number of fatal drownings in pools and spas has increased and that the summer months see a rise in accidental drownings. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends children be taught to swim as early as a year old and that pools always be enclosed by a fence and self-latching gate. The AAP also urges parents to never leave children or adolescents alone near a pool, spa, or natural body of water.
