Dallas, TX - Part One of Summer Safety Tips Series
Just in time to welcome summer, Associa, the largest community management services firm in North America, and Associa Supports Kids (ASK) offer pool and swimming safety tips as the first of its three-part Summer Safety Tips series.
Drowning remains the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages one to 14, reports The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Families are encouraged to consider the below tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
In the Pool
Never leave children alone in or near the pool
Be within an arm's length of children 5 years old or younger
Do not use air-filled "swimming aids" as a substitute for approved life vests
Do not allow children to dive in a pool that is not deep enough
Around the Pool
Do not run on the pool deck
Keep toys away from the pool when it’s not in use
Do not leave electrical appliances near the pool
Have a pool fence 4-feet-high and self-closing
Associa Supports Kids is a value-added program for Associa community residents, designed to enhance the neighborhood community experience. The program focuses on educating parents and kids about safety and fitness. At neighborhood events, Scout, the ASK mascot, hands out Safety Tip coloring books, plush Scout toys, rub-on tattoos, and Scout’s own books – Scout Goes to the Beach, Scout Goes to a Sleepover and Scout Stays Active and Strong – to each child in attendance. Parents receive an ASK safety brochure and a ChildPrint identification kit. In addition, ASK is focused on keeping kids strong and healthy by promoting physical activity through sports sponsorships.
