In Babies and More we are very committed to the safety of children in summer. The pool season has begun and we will not get tired of remembering the importance of not losing sight of the little ones for a second while they are in the water.
In addition to constant supervision, we must implement other preventive advice as well as teach them to swim as soon as possible. But children must also be aware of the danger that certain practices may entail and what better way than an interactive story to explain the safety rules to follow this summer: Let's go to the pool!

Never bathe alone, there always has to be an older person with you
Put on the life jacket in the pool until you learn to swim like the older ones. You will see how fun!
The water in the pool is cold, take a shower before getting used to it and enter slowly, never suddenly.
If you know how to throw your head, do it from the edge of the pool, very close to the water, and always in the deepest part so as not to hit your head with the bottom.
The curbs and slides slide a lot, do not run near them, you could fall.
Do not leave toys in the pool. Pick them up before getting out of the water. Other children may fall while trying to catch them.
If you see that a child has been harmed or something can happen, ask the Lifeguard or an elderly person for help.
To protect your skin and not burn, it is best not to spend a lot of time in the sun, and always wear sunscreen and a cap.
The fences and pool covers are so you don't hurt yourself. Do not open them without your parents' permission.
