// Error-Handling JavaScript INTRODUCTION While water recreation provides hours of enjoyment and exercise for children, water and children can be a deadly mix when an unsafe environment, inadequate supervision or improperly used safety gear is also present. Drowning remains the second leading cause of injury-related death among children ages 1 to 14, despite a 40 percent decline in the childhood drowning death rate from 1987 to 2001. In 2001, 859 children ages 14 and under died as a result of unintentional drowning and, in 2002, an estimated 2,700 children in this age group were treated in hospital emergency rooms for near-drowning. Drowning can occur in a variety of circumstances – during water recreational activities (such as swimming and boating) or when a young child is left unsupervised for a short time in the bathtub or around the home with access to nearby pools and spas. Drowning, which can happen in as little as one inch of water, is usually quick and silent. A child will lose consciousness two minutes after submersion, with irreversible brain damage occurring within four to six minutes. The majority of children who survive without neurological consequences are discovered within two minutes of submersion, and most children who die are found after 10 minutes.

For Employees Water Safety As the summer sun pushes the thermometer readings upward, children and their families seek relief from the summer heat at pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Unfortunately, the water sports that are so much a part of our summer fun can result in accidents if precautions are not taken. The prescription for a safe summer is to closely follow water safety rules and add a large dose of adult supervision. As long as drowning is the third leading cause of death in this country, the message of water safety cannot be repeated enough. No one should ever swim alone. Night swimming (except in a lighted pool) can be very dangerous. Stay out of the water during thunderstorms and other severe weather. Pay careful attention to all warning signs or notices concerning tides and undercurrents. Never swim tired or cold.

In fact, everyone who is in a boat is a boater, whether the reason is to fish, hunt, or just drift around. Hunting and Fishing When operating around boaters who are fishing, take extra care to control your wake. People often stand up in their boat to cast or reel in a fish. Your wake could tip the boat and cause someone to fall overboard. Remember you are responsible for your wake.

Many dogs enjoy going for a swim as much as their owners. There are a few things to keep in mind to protect your dog around water. While many dogs are great water dogs, you want to keep an eye on them in the water. Some dogs will overexert themselves in the water a consequently have troubles. Also, be aware of your dog’s health, if they are overweight, or getting a little older realize they may have more trouble in the water than they’ve had in the past. If your dog swims in your pool, make sure he know how to get himself out of the pool. Also, rinse him of after his swim. The chemicals in a pool can cause skin irritations. Similarly if your dog swims in a pond or lake, rinsing him off is suggested. Some dogs have allergic reactions to things in a pond or lake, and it can often be very difficult determining exactly what the allergen is. Rinsing them off may help prevent this situation. Be aware that a wet dog is more susceptible to sunburn. Also, drying out the ears can help prevent infections. If your dog is susceptible to ear infections, you may want to give them eardrops to clean out the ear and keep the infections away.

Additional Information General Description New Jersey Resources Recommended Web Sites PubMED Search Water sports like swimming, wading, boating, and water skiing are fun and exciting. But they can also be dangerous for people of all ages. In 1996, nearly 4,000 people drowned in the United States, including almost 1,000 children younger than 15 years of age. Among children aged 1-9, drowning is the second leading cause of death from injuries. Near-drownings can result in brain damage. Childhood drownings and near-drownings often occur when a child is left alone, even for a few seconds. It is surprising to many parents that young children tend not to splash or make noise when they get into trouble in the water and thus usually drown silently. Most children who drown in pools were last seen inside the home, had been out of sight less than five minutes, and were in the care of one or both parents at the time. How young children drown tends to vary by age. For example:

Online Resources Water Safety Although most drownings occur in residential swimming pools, children can drown in just one inch of water (such as in buckets, bath tubs, wading pools, diaper pails, toilets, hot tubs, and spas). In addition, open waters such as oceans, rivers, and lakes pose a drowning threat to older children. Consider these facts concerning drowning from the National SAFE KIDS Campaign: When a child is submerged two minutes in water, he/she loses consciousness. Irreversible brain damage sets in after four to six minutes of water submersion.

"Physical activity is essential for healthy living, and swimming is an excellent way to stay fit, " said Dr. Alonzo Plough, Director of Public Health - Seattle & King County. "However, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children, and it is entirely preventable." "Stay safe in the water by learning to swim, swimming in guarded areas only, wearing a life vest or jacket, providing vigilant supervision of children when around water, and avoiding alcohol while swimming or boating," said Plough.

More Hot Topics of interest right now: The America's Cup Food safety Bike safety Welcome to the new school year! To make the most of the summer weather, New Zealand schools focus on outdoor activities and water sports as part of the health and physical education curriculum at the beginning of the academic year. The first Hot Topic of 2003 looks at how to be sun-smart in the scorching New Zealand sun and how to stay safe in the pool, in rivers, or in the sea. The New Zealand sun The ferocity of New Zealand sun is well known. New Zealand has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and approximately 200 New Zealanders die from melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, each year. One of the reasons for this is New Zealand's proximity to the ozone hole. Scientists investigating the ozone layer discovered that it had been thinning over Antarctica. This has become known as the ozone hole. The ozone hole that forms each spring over Antarctica is triggered by a combination of chlorine pollutants in the atmosphere, cold winter temperatures, and the return of sunlight in spring. The longer the hole remains over Antarctica, the more likely it is that ozone-depleted air will reach New Zealand when the sun is high in the sky, increasing the risk of dangerously high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in New Zealand when people are outdoors enjoying the summer.

75. Boat Safety Is Important When Participating In Water Sports On Kansas Lakes, Sho Boat safety is important when participating in water sports on Kansaslakes, should not be taken lightly. CHRIS ECKERT Collegian. http://www.kstatecollegian.com/issues/v099b/su/n156/spts-Boat-Safety-II-Eckert.h

Boat safety is important when participating in water sports on Kansas lakes, should not be taken lightly CHRIS ECKERT Collegian Waterskiing can be a fun way to get some exercise but certain guidelines should be followed to keep it a safe activity. The boat driver should be aware of the waterskier's location at all times. Spotters, people in the boat who watch the skier, can be used to tell the driver the position of the skier. When picking up a skier, the skier should be picked up on the driver's side. This way, the driver can tell where the skier is, Gary Schwandt, Manhattan Resident, said. Cheri Swayne, boating education coordinator, said the one thing people do not realize while boating is the amount of stressors that are involved. "Everybody who gets on a boat will have stressors," Swayne said. The movement and vibration of the boat makes it physically demanding for a person to stand or sit still. The wind blowing against the occupants for long periods of time also acts as a stressor. Another stressor is the glare of the sun off the water. The warmth of the sun and failing to drink enough water can cause a person to become dehydrated. This can affect a person's balance and judgment. If dehydrated long enough, heat exhaustion and heat stroke can also occur.

E-mail this story Posted on: Tuesday, May 4, 2004 EDITORIAL Water safety education should be mandatory It's important to note that this week is National Safe Kids week. Why? Because we're coming up to the volatile summer season when children have less supervision and spend more time outdoors. According to state Department of Health statistics, drowning is the second most common source of fatal injuries among children from newborns to 14-year-olds. That's why in Hawai'i, we're focusing this year on water safety. There has been a rash of visitor drownings, which is tragic, but we are also concerned about our own keiki. Not everyone in the Islands spends time in or near water. Moreover, not everyone can swim. One study by the city Department of Parks and Recreation found that 70 percent of youngsters ages 7 to 14 could not swim 50 yards, which is troubling when you consider we're the only state surrounded by water.
