Water Watcher Cards Help Parents Actively Supervise Young Swimmers

As pools open their doors around the country this Memorial Day, Safe Kids Worldwide is offering a tool to help parents keep kids safe in and around water this summer.

Drowning deaths among children ages 14 and under increase 89 percent in the summer over the average annual monthly rate, with 64 percent of all children’s drowning deaths occurring in the summer months.

Make It A Safe Kids Summer.

Thanks to Johnson & Johnson, the founding sponsor of Safe Kids Worldwide, National Safe Kids Week 2007 includes research, advocacy for public policy initiatives, the distribution of safety devices and grassroots events through hundreds of Safe Kids coalitions across the nation.

Summer is a deadly time of year for children and it will be here soon.

National Safe Kids Week 2007 is designed to teach the nation about what we can do to keep our children safe, especially from the five leading summer risks:

• Drowning
• Biking and other wheeled sports
• Falls
• Pedestrian injuries
• Motor vehicle passenger injuries
