Prevention is key to reducing the incidence of drowning in children. Key preventive measures include: - Supervision: Always provide close and constant supervision when children are in or near water. - Swimming Lessons: Enroll children in age-appropriate swimming lessons to improve their water safety skills. - Barriers: Install barriers such as pool fences with self-latching gates to prevent unsupervised access to swimming pools. - Life Jackets: Use life jackets for young children and non-swimmers when around water bodies. - Educate: Teach children about water safety rules and the dangers of water.
