"Within Arms' Reach" poster

Children under 5 years of age are mobile, curious and at high risk for drowning. They are the least capable of self-rescue of any age group and require close and constant supervision by an adult.

The Society's within arms' reach message is designed to provide parents with specific and concrete parameters for their supervisory role in a meaningful, compelling manner.

The Within Arms' Reach poster was developed in cooperation with the City of Ottawa. Visit Lifeguarddepot.com to order.
