It&#8217;s the leading cause of death for kids ages 1 through 4.<\/p>\n<h2>Technology improves water safety<\/h2>\n<p>Technology is helping to see what the eye can&#8217;t when it comes to water safety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rip currents are the No. 1 weather-related fatality in our region,&#8221; said Eric Hoeflich, a National Weather Service meteorologist in the mid-Atlantic region.<\/p>\n<p>His office outside of Philadelphia monitors ocean conditions from New Jersey to Delaware and is one of 122 facilities in all 50 states.<\/p>\n<p>Twice a day, Hoeflich&#8217;s office publishes rip current forecasts, which help inform local beaches.<\/p>\n<h2>Safety tips<\/h2>\n<p>Rip currents form after a wave crashes on shore and encounters an obstacle in the beach&#8217;s topography, including low spots in sand bars and around piers. A rip current can pull you away from shore at a speed of 1 to 8 miles per second, much faster than a person can swim.<\/p>\n<p>If you get caught in a rip current, Jack Forsman, the chief lifeguard at a beach in Sea Bright, New Jersey, stressed to &#8220;stay calm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Make sure that you keep your arms down, tread water and control your breathing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Best way to get the lifeguard&#8217;s attention is to just turn, face the beach and put one arm up in the air.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Forsman suggests first checking in with the lifeguards when you arrive at the beach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Talk about what&#8217;s going on in the day, what&#8217;s a surf height, rip current conditions,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Always swim near a lifeguard. Stay as close to the lifeguard stand as much as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You also want to check the warning flags.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But just because it&#8217;s a green flag doesn&#8217;t mean that there&#8217;s no hazard, just a low hazard,&#8221; Forsman warned.<\/p>\n<p>Pools can also be dangerous. Make sure there&#8217;s fencing and consider an alarm that can alert you if the gate opens, even if you&#8217;re away from home. They range from $150 to $300 and can alert you if something or someone falls into the pool.<\/p>\n<p>The <a

stopping<\/li>\n<li>Get out of a pool without using stairs or a ladder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may also want to consider a life vest, but only if it&#8217;s rated for your weight.<\/p>\n<section
