THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 2006. PAGE 11.
The Canadian Red Cross, leader in
drowning research, swimming and
water safety, is deeply concerned
about the number of drowning and
near-drowning incidents this
summer and is issuing a stern
warning.
"Drowning deaths are preventable
and taking safety into account any
time you and your family are in, on
or around the water is essential,"
says Lorraine Davies, director of
water safety and first aid services for
the Red Cross in Ontario. "Many
people enjoy spending the summer
months boating, swimming, or
around the water and we are
encouraging people to make safety a
priority."
The Canadian Red Cross
encourages people to keep the
following tips in mind to ensure .
being around the water is not only
fun but safe as well.
How to avoid water-related
injuries:
• Weak or non-swimmers should
wear a lifejacket or personal
flotation device (PFD) when
enjoying any water activities.
• Don't consume alcohol before or
during swimming or boating
activities.
• Be cautious about swimming in
currents, and know what to do if
you get into trouble.
• Regardless of the location, ensure
children are supervised; whether at
home or on vacation. Adult
supervision is the best protection
for children - even for those who
can swim.
• Ensure that your pool is fully
fenced with a self-closing, self-
latching gate.
• When not using the pool, clear all
toys out of the water and away
from the edge. These can often
tempt children to the water's edge
or into the pool.
• Check with your local
municipality for by-laws regulating
backyard pools.
• Ensure you have emergency
equipment including a first aid kit
as well as a phone in the immediate
pool area.
• Get trained through swimming
and water safety lessons; get your
Pleasure Craft Operator Card if you
operate a boat; know how to
respond in an emergency by taking
first aid training.
A personal floatation device
(PFD) or lifejacket can save a
person's life and it is important to
check yours every year to ensure it
will keep you safe.
Test your PFD or lifejacket with
the following checklist:
• Is it Canadian-approved?
• Will it support the person it was
made for
• Are all the snaps, belts, ties, tapes
and/or zippers on your lifejacket or
PFD in good condition?
• Is it easy to put on and take off?
• Can you move your arms freely
when wearing it?
• Does it let you bend at the waist?
• Can you see the ground at your
feet and walk over obstacles easily?
• Does it keep your head above
water? _
• Relax in the water face down.
Does your lifejacket roll you to a
face-up position?
• Can you swim and manoeuvre
easily in the water?
• Have you attached a whistle to
your flotation device?
Being in and around the water
during the summer months can be a
lot of fun and safe when the proper
guidelines are taken into
consideration. Each year the
Canadian Red Cross trains more
than one million Canadians to be
safe in, on, and around the water.
