Tips to Help You Stay Safe in the Water
- Supervise When in/Around Water: A responsible adult should watch young children when in the bath or swimming pool. If the child is preschool or younger, they should provide “touch supervision” and be close enough to always reach the child.
- Use the Buddy System: Always swim with a buddy and select swimming sites that have lifeguards when possible.
- Learn to Swim: Taking formal swimming lessons can protect young children from drowning. An adult should still always have constant and careful supervision even when children have had formal swimming lessons.
- Learn Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): Your CPR skills could save a life during the time it takes for paramedics to arrive.
- Air-Filled/Foam Toys are not safety devices: Do not use air-filled or foam toys, such as “water wings”, “noodles”, or inner tubes, instead of life jackets.
- Avoid Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming, boating, or water skiing. Never drink alcohol while supervising children.
- Check the Weather Before Swimming/Boating: Strong winds and thunderstorms with lightning strikes are dangerous.
Common Causes of Drowning Accidents
If your loved one died as the result of a drowning accident, you should seek the counsel of an experienced personal injury attorney in Macon.

- Negligence or reckless behavior on the part of a pool or property owner
- Boating and water sport accidents
- Public pools that are not in compliance with the law and are not up to code
If you believe your loved one’s drowning took place because of someone’s negligence, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
