BETTER LIFE WHY WATER SAFETY STARTS EARLY Children can drown in as little as a few centimetres of water - and it can happen silently, in seconds. That's why water safety isn’t just for poolside days. It starts in the home, during bath time, and continues through every stage of childhood. Whether you're at the beach, a dam, a friend's house with a pool, or even just filling up a bucket in the garden, supervision is key. And not just ‘nearby’ supervision - we're talking about being within arm's reach, eyes on, and distraction-free. SPOTTING THE SILENT DANGER: RECOGNISING A DROWNING Forget the dramatic thrashing and shouting you see in films. Real drowning is often quiet and undramatic. A person, especially a child, may: « Be vertical in the water with their head tilted back, mouth open, and eyes glazed over. » Attempt to push down on the water with their arms, looking like they're trying to climb an invisible ladder. » Hyperventilate or gasp before sinking. » Have hair over their forehead or eyes. + Not be making any noise. If someone looks like they’re just playing or floating listlessly, but something feels off, trust your gut. Take a second look, and if in doubt, check it out. POOLS AT HOME: YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE « Fence it off. A pool should have a child-proof gate that locks automatically. Nets or covers add another layer of safety. « Be the lifeguard. Never leave children swimming unattended, even if they can swim. Assign one adult to watch without distractions - no scrolling or reading. « Visitors matter. Holiday gatherings are high-risk times. Make sure grandparents, babysitters, and older siblings all understand pool rules. « Teach early skills. Floating on the back, treading water, and knowing to ask permission before swimming are basics that save lives.
