## Resource

May is National Water Safety Month, and as summer approaches, families in the Triangle area are preparing for pool and lake fun. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for kids aged one to four. Early swimming lessons are crucial, as demonstrated by Carinas baby daughter at Water Babies of Greater Raleigh. Instructors teach essential skills through songs and activities, emphasizing safe entry, floating, and staying afloat. Real-life stories from emergency workers highlight the importance of constant supervision. The CDC recommends prevention steps like fencing pools, using real life jackets, and learning CPR. Always swim with a buddy, avoid alcohol, and be aware of natural water risks. Swimming is a lifelong skill that ensures safety in any water environment.
