Toddlers can quickly get into dangerous situations. Constant supervision helps prevent accidents by allowing immediate intervention.
Use barriers like pool fences, ensure toddlers wear life jackets, and teach them basic water safety rules.
Start with simple rules like no running and staying away from the edge, and consider enrolling them in swimming lessons.
Quickly but calmly remove them from the water, check for breathing, and call emergency services if necessary.
Floaties can provide some support but should not replace constant supervision and other safety measures like life jackets.
