Home water safety:
2. You and your 16 year old sister are babysitting you 3 year old cousin. You have been asked to give the child a bath before bed. What do you need to do to ensure safety?

River safety:

Farm water safety:
4. What are the types of water hazards on a farm? How would you protect a child from these?
