Summer is just around the corner, and lots of you will be heading to the swimming pool or lake. We checked in with the local YMCA to learn of some easy things parents can do to keep their kids safe.
To learn more about pool safety and what parents can do, we checked in with the folks at Safe Kids Metro Kansas City. Some of those tips include:
- Take a break every hour when swimming.
- Make sure you and your child know pool safety.
- Make life jackets a must.
- Clean ears out after swimming to avoid an ear infection.
