| Be Pool Smart & Have a Safe Summer
With the start of the outdoor pool season, the Glenview Park District would like to remind parents and other pool patrons that you play a key role in helping us to ensure a safe and enjoyable summer at our outdoor pools. Common factors that contribute to accidental drowning include:
- Lack of adult supervision for children
- Breath-holding contests
- Bobbing or wading into deeper water, then being unable to lift the mouth or nose out of the water or choking on water
- Being a nonswimmer in deep water without a life jacket
Remember, lifeguards are not baby-sitters. Parents and guardians should not leave children unattended, and preschool children and nonswimmers should be directly supervised--within touching distance--by a responsible adult. Our outdoor pool staff takes your family's safety very seriously, but we can't do it alone. Please take a moment and click here to review this important public service announcement about pool safety (please note: file size is approx. 6 MB). | | Come play some more!
