A survey carried out by 'Beterem' organization for child safety shows that 22% of parents engage in unsafe behaviors when their children are in the water, such as using a cell phone, going out momentarily, turning to get a towel, leaving a toddler at the edge of the pool, and more. According to the same survey, 80% of drowning cases could have been prevented if preventive actions had been taken, including learning to swim, fencing pools, using proper buoys, active supervision by parents and the rescue services.
