What can a DSP do to prevent drowning?

Helping individuals learn about water safety is essential in preventing drowning. This proactive approach equips individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate water environments safely. Teaching about potential hazards, safe swimming practices, and emergency responses can help individuals understand the importance of being cautious around water.

The other options, while they may appear benign, do not contribute positively to drowning prevention. Allowing diving in shallow water increases the risk of injury and possible drowning. Leaving open buckets of water accessible does not promote safety, as it may lead to accidental slips or falls. Serving alcohol at pool parties can impair judgment and coordination, which raises the risk of drowning incidents. Therefore, the focus on education and awareness about water safety is the most effective strategy for preventing drowning in this context.
