Water Safety

Pool safety
"It was just a few seconds." That's the phrase heard too often by firefighters when it comes to water related incidents in Maricopa County. Unfortunately, it only takes a few seconds for a child to drown.
Layers of protection
Supervision is the key to protecting lives, but there are other "layers of protection." Studies show 69% of drowning incidents occur when parental supervision fails and there are no other "backup layers" in use.
Barriers
Some guidelines on pool and spa barriers.
Statistics
See the numbers of incidents for 2005-2008, including who was responsible and what activities children were doing before they found the water.
