Families urged to learn CPR and enroll young children in swim lessons
Summary
Presenters advised that swim lessons (which do not replace supervision) and up-to-date CPR skills can reduce drowning risk; local lessons for infants and toddlers are available through First 5 Riverside County.
A presenter recommended that households prepare every member by enrolling children in age-appropriate swim lessons while stressing that instruction "never replace adult supervision." The presenter said caregivers should learn and refresh CPR skills and have rescue equipment and a charged phone nearby.
In a recommended emergency response, the presenter instructed callers to dial 911 immediately and begin CPR; the transcript references an "AD" device, which the presenters intended as an AED (automated external defibrillator). For local early-childhood swim programs the presenter directed listeners to First 5 Riverside County, noting lessons for children as young as roughly 6 months up to about 5 years old.
