That in BC 29.4% of swimming pool deaths happen in preschool aged children. This is because children this age are inquisitive and take advantage of their ever - expanding range and speed of mobility. They also have no awareness of looming aquatic dangers so it is up to parents, caregivers and lifeguards to protect them.
• Children under 7 must be within arm ’ s reach of caregivers and wear a red bracelet. This means you are actively participating with your child and watching them at all times. This is a standard across BC and a provincial pool regulation. • No more than 3 children under 7 years per caregiver. These little monkeys are movers and you have to be ready to support all of them, wearing a red bracelet can help the lifeguards assist you as well by reminding you and the child under 7 to remain within arm ’ s reach • Restrict and control access to water. It is great to set pool boundaries with your child and where you can go together in the pool. A great tip is to call the out - of - bounds zones, ‘ Lava Zones ’. We don ’ t want to go near hot dangerous lava! • Children who cannot swim, learning to swim or have a tendency to scoot beyond arms reach regularly should always wear a lifejacket. • Following the pool rules and direction from lifeguards allows for unlimited fun in the water!
