Don’t Let Summer Fun Turn Tragic: Learn CPR & First Aid Before Pool Season! - post

Summer is here! The sun’s out, the #pools are open, the beach towels are unfurled—and so are the risks. While we all love the splashes, laughter, and cannonballs that come with #summer, it’s also the season when drowning incidents spike, especially among children.

It’s a serious subject, but here’s the good news: you can do something about it. Whether you’re a #parent, teacher, camp counselor, or babysitter, learning Pediatric First Aid and CPR could be one of the most important things you do this season—and AidCPR, a ChildCareEd company, is here to make it easy, accessible, and even a little fun.

The Dangers of Drowning: More Common Than You Think

Drowning can happen in seconds and often silently. It's the leading cause of injury-related death for children ages 1–4, and it's all too easy to assume “someone else” is watching. But even with supervision, emergencies happen fast.

Here are some sobering (but important) facts:

• Children can drown in as little as 1 inch of water—yes, even in a kiddie pool.

• Most young children who drown were last seen inside the house, just moments before the incident.

• 88% of child drownings occur with at least one adult present.

The reality is, you are the first line of defense. And being trained in Pediatric CPR and First Aid could make the difference between life and tragedy.

Confidence Starts With Preparation

Imagine this: you're at a backyard BBQ, the kids are playing in the pool, and suddenly, a child goes under. Do you freeze—or act?

When you’ve been trained, you won’t panic. You'll remember the steps. You'll stay calm, assess the situation, and jump into action—whether that means performing #CPR, calling 911, or stabilizing the child until help arrives.

That kind of confidence isn’t just reassuring—it’s empowering.

Real Life: Why It Matters

It’s easy to think, “That won’t happen to me.” But the truth is, most people who experience an emergency never expected to be in one.

Here’s what one local mom had to say after taking our course:

“I used to feel anxious every time we went near water. After taking the Pediatric CPR class with AidCPR, I feel like I can actually help if something goes wrong. I even taught my older kids what I learned!”

That sense of empowerment and readiness? That’s what we want for every caregiver.
