* In California, drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children one through four years age.
* Children drown in pools, spas, buckets, toilets and bathtubs. A child can drown in as little as two inches of water.
* A child can drown in less time than it takes to answer the telephone.
* 67% of all drowning deaths occur in their own backyard pool, spa or hot tub.
* The majority of drowning incidents occur while the caretaker assumed the child was safely indoors.
* 25% of all children who have drowned or nearly drowned have had swimming lessons. The risk of a drowning or near drowning is highest during the first six months a family has a pool.
-------------------------------------------------
* Is your pool surrounded by a 5 foot 6 inch high or higher fence or barrier?
* Is the fence childproof with bars not more than 4 inches apart? If it is a chain link fence, the diamond shaped opening should be no larger than 1 3/4 inches.
* Are the gates self-closing and self-latching? The self latching mechanism should be out of the reach of children.
* Is the self-latching mechanism at least 54 inches, from the bottom of the gate? If less than 54 inches, the latching mechanism should be located on the pool side of the gate.
* Are all the gates kept locked?
* Are all exit doors and windows leading from the house to the pool kept locked and secured?
* Are pool rules posted in a visible location?
* Is rescue equipment kept near the pool? A ring buoy with an attached line and/or a long handled hook.

PHOENIX (AP) - A 3-year-old Phoenix boy drowned in his family's backyard pool in the third child drowning in Maricopa County this year. Phoenix police say the boy was playing outside while his parents and five other children were inside the home Saturday afternoon. Police say a brother found the boy in the pool. He was not breathing, and family members performed CPR on the child until paramedics arrived. The boy was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
Detective Stacie Derge says it's unclear how the boy managed to get past the pool's fence.
