Always keep watch when children are in and around any water. Many drownings happen in the few seconds that adults are distracted. Supervision means you or an appropriate adult are continually watching your child.

Supervision should be constant, not the occasional glance whilst you read a book or relax.

Take your child with you whenever you leave the ocean, swimming pool or bathtub.

1. •Is your child being supervised?
   

2. •Have you emptied the bathtub?
   

3. •Is the lid on the nappy bucket?
   

4. •Can your child gain access to the pool or spa?
   

5. •Have you checked for other water dangers such as open drains, garden ponds, creeks or dams?
