Backyard Pool Parties can be fun, but they require extra vigilant supervision. Pick up a Water Watcher tag (order a few from txdpa.com– they make great hostess gifts) and make sure at least one sober adult is watching the pool (and nothing else) the whole time kids are swimming. Children can drown surrounded by people. Don’t let your party take a tragic turn! Adults can take turns being Water Watchers. #watersafety #drowningPREVENTION #waterwatcher
