In one recent case, two brothers drowned in an irrigation pond on their family farm in Langton, Ontario. In another, a Barrie toddler drowned in the family backyard pool. In both cases, the children were unsupervised. "Supervising children in bathtubs, pools or at the cottage is a full-time job. Parents have to think and act like lifeguards and that means being on duty at all times," says Ed Bean, director of public education for the RLSSC in Ontario. "Whenever your children are near the water, you should be near your children. And 'near' means within arm's reach. We all know how fast tragedy can strike. Just a momentary lapse in supervision can lead to death because the drowning process can take as little as 10 seconds."

Only automobile crashes and accidental falls account for more accidental deaths, Mr. Bean says. For the first time ever, the water- related accidental death rate among children under the age of five is the highest of all age groups, the RLSSC recently reported. In Ontario in 1992, 21 children under five years of age drowned, compared with 19 in 1991. Most children in this group were unsupervised and half of them died in backyard pools or in bathtubs. There were a total of 174 drownings among all age groups in Ontario in 1992, the latest year for which statistics are available. Parents and caregivers can take a number of measures to reduce the risk of drowning, Mr Bean says. • Stay within arm's reach. Direct adult supervision is essential for young children whenever they are in or near water. • Increase the number of On July 14, the team travelled to Goderich to take on the strong Goderich Lions.
