SPECIAL ATTENTION
11 - Pool and Jacuzzi
Swimming pools are especially dangerous for young children. A very high percentage of deaths among children between the ages of 0 and 3 are caused by drowning. It is recommended that an adult be assigned on a rotating basis to supervise children who are in the garden and therefore have immediate access to the pool. A small lack of attention can be fatal.
Be careful when using the steps. Children should be helped to descend the pool steps to avoid slipping.
