Never swim alone or in unsupervised places. Teach children to always swim with a
buddy.
Keep small children away from buckets containing liquid: 5-gallon industrial containers
are a particular danger. Be sure to empty buckets when household chores are done.
Never drink alcohol during or just before swimming, boating, or water skiing. Never
drink alcohol while supervising children. Warn teenagers about the danger of drinking
alcohol while swimming, boating, or water skiing.
To prevent choking, never chew gum or eat while swimming, diving, or playing in
water.
