Majority of drownings occur in residential swimming pools

Wristband alarm system and other safety steps
Your backyard swimming pool may make a big splash with your kids this summer – but it could also spell “troubled waters” if you underestimate the potential hazards. “A swimming pool can be just as dangerous as a lake, a pond or the ocean. The majority of drowning victims received by our Emergency Department have been from residential swimming pools,” said Milford Memorial Hospital Trauma Program Coordinator Judi Graybeal, RN. Graybeal notes that swimming pool safety poses unique challenges for children, especially for very young children. “Children have no fear. If the parents become momentarily distracted, that’s all the time it takes for a toddler to wander into the pool. A drowning can occur within seconds while the parent is answering the phone or the door, or taking care of another child,” said Graybeal. Several basic precautions will go a long way towards keeping your child safe this summer: • Teach your children to swim. The lessons will give them a lifelong skill and will give them the opportunity to enjoy countless hours of fun. • Keep a fence around the swimming pool. The lock for the gate should be high enough so a small child cannot reach the lock. • Always be prepared for an emergency by keeping a cell phone and rescue equipment near the pool. This includes flotation devices, lifesavers and life jackets. • Learn CPR. Teach your children how to call 911. • Install a pool alarm. The Poolguard Alarm sounds if the pool water is agitated. The so-called “turtle alarm” allows your child to wear a wristband that sets off the
alarm if they stray within a certain radius of the alarm receiver. • Always have “mature” supervision of your child. While it may be easier to assign supervision to an older sibling, do they have the maturity and attention span to watch over a younger brother or sister for an extended period of time? • Talk to your kids about pool safety and strictly enforce the rules: no running and no horseplay around the pool. No diving unless the pool is deep enough for diving. Never swim alone. • Keep chlorine and swimming pool chemicals out of the reach of your kids.
Alliance holds conference
The Nanticoke Watershed Alliance recently held a conference at Vienna Elementary School, “Land, River, Culture, Community: People of the Nanticoke Uniting for the Future,” to bring together people representing a broad diversity of stakeholder interests to collectively create a vision for the future of the Nanticoke area. The conference included representatives of public service, education, tourism, agriculture, business & industry, civic groups, environmental conservation, cultural/historic preservation, and resource users. Even among highly varied interests and perspectives, it was clear that there are many areas of common ground. Over the next several months, the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance will be working to make a community-created vision a reality.
