Water Safety It is almost inevitable that we will continue to see headlines and TV news stories about children who have drowned. Sadder still, drowning tragedies are often preventable with a little parental attention and some basic water safety education. According to the Houston Fire Department, “Active, focused, adult supervision is the most important safety measure to prevent a water-related tragedy involving a child. The vast majority of children who drown in pools do so in the backyards of their own homes or of relatives.” The Houston Apartment Association urges residents and their children to learn pool safety practices and CPR.
