Use Electricity
Get Drunk
It's fun to have cocktails by the pool or lake, but it's dangerous to drink past the point of being in full control of one's self. Getting drunk can lead one to make bad choices near water, which can lead to drowning.
Boat Solo
There's nothing more relaxing than a day out on a boat. But if you are a sea-loving person, take a buddy along with you. Otherwise, if you're solo and in distress, no one will know.
Horse Play
Rough-housing of any kind near water can lead to an accident. So it's best to keep the rough play down to a minimum. And never near water.
Leave Children Unattended
Even if your child is the next Michael Phelps and is totally water safe, never leave a child unattended near water. Even for a second!
Nap
Avoid a long nap by the side of the pool or ocean. You don't want to get sunburned or dehydrated, and you definitely don't want to be in the wrong place during high tide.
Play With a Pool Drain
It's easy for clothing, a limb or hair to get stuck in a pool drain, making it impossible to swim back up to safety. So when swimming, it's best to avoid pool drains. Kids, too.
