The sole purpose of this training is to educate caregivers about water safety measures, to reduce the incidence of water related injury and death. Children of all ages, adults, and especially caregivers can practice the basic water safety measures outlined in this training to reduce the chances of a tragedy around water. Crystal Pichon, CEO of The Safety Place, reviews Louisiana laws and Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) policies pertaining to water safety and identifies the multiple layers of safety to utilize while in or around water. Note: this training is not a substitute for hands-on swim lessons, safety practices, active supervision and the use of personal flotation devices.
