No Driving Signs
Showing the single result
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. and throughout most of the developed world, which is why it is imperative for adults to take responsibility for watching over kids as they play in situations that could prove dangerous. Among dangerous activities, swimming is near the top of the list.
While supervised, controlled swimming in a pool can be a wonderful summertime activity for kids and adults alike, disaster can strike when it is uncontrolled and chaotic. Drowning is, of course, a major source of concern, but it is not the only one. Diving leads to numerous catastrophic injuries every year, particularly when the pool is too shallow to make the practice safe. Use this No Diving Sign to prevent this practice at your pool – you may just save a life.
Warnings Work
According to a 2016 study, No Diving Signs are particularly effective when discouraging this dangerous activity and helping children avoid serious injury or death. While a sign is no substitute for an adult supervisor and/or a lifeguard, it is an absolutely critical piece of the pool safety puzzle. The message is simple enough for even younger children to understand, and when it is paired with education, i.e. what can happen when you dive into shallow water, this sign is very good at keeping kids from diving into the pool. Children quickly comprehend the meaning of the sign, and this can be enough to stop them from engaging in a practice that could lead to a disastrous injury such as a broken neck.
