water safety

Tragically, drowning is the number one reason for the unintentional death of children under the age of five in the State of Texas. Every year there are countless headlines about unnecessary preschool drownings, primarily in backyard pools. At Emler, we take water safety very seriously.

Choose a Designated Water Watcher

The only safe way to supervise children around water is to keep your eyes on them 100% of the time. Looking away for just two minutes is enough time for a child to lose consciousness and stop breathing.

Choose a designated “Water Watcher” at your water gatherings, just as you would chose a designated driver at an adult party. Providing a “Water Watcher” tag for the designated adult is an easy way clearly assign this responsibility.

Complimentary “Water Watcher” tags are available at all Emler Swim Schools.

Drowning is a silent death. Don’t rely on listening to keep your children safe around the pool, any more than you would rely solely on listening to drive your car.
