As the summer swimming season heats up, the Illinois Department of Public Health has some tips to keep families safe. Every day, two chidren in the US under the age of 14 die from drowning. That's why it's so important to make sure your child has a life jacket out on the water and a lifeguard is present at your local public pool says health spokesperson Melaney Arnold.

Arnold says you should stay out of the pool if you have diarrhea. Kids should be taken to the bathroom frequently for potty breaks, and urged not to swallow the water.
