Watch your children around water!

The recent local 'near drowning' in a canal episode is a nagging reminder to watch your children around ANY body of water! I am not sure how this one-year old faired, but he was found in one-two feet of water in a canal. He was rushed to the hospital and hopefully survived without damage. It only takes a second. Keep toys away from the pool area-in the pool area keep tempting toys away. Outside of the pool area keep toy boxes, chairs and any other items that might be used to push against the pool gate and used as a climbing device.
Teach your child to swim at an early age. But never assume that he/she is drown proof.
