Summer and water go hand in hand. Swimming is something that people with epilepsy can enjoy if they take some precautions. The has a great article with practical tips for those who choose to swim with epilepsy.⁣
⁣
A few tips to consider…⁣
-Make sure that lifeguards know about your child’s seizures and any other health concerns.⁣
-Make sure all children with a history of seizures swim with supervision by someone who knows how to swim and provide emergency help.⁣
-Children with frequent seizures or seizures that impair consciousness may need 1-to-1 supervision and may not be allowed to swim in water that is over their head.⁣
-Some people recommend ‘reach supervision’ or having an adult within arm’s reach of the child at all times. This may not be needed for children with well-controlled seizures. Parents should ask the child’s neurologist for advice first.⁣
-Check all lifejackets and personal flotation devices – make sure they are intact and work properly.⁣
-Use of a lifejacket or personal flotation device is recommended for children in or near open bodies of water or during water activities. Remember that inflatable toys or ‘water wings’ are not flotation safety devices.⁣
-Children with seizures should always swim with a buddy.⁣
-Encourage your child to take swimming lessons.⁣
-Discourage diving into a river, lake or ocean.⁣
