The sure fire way would be a prop cage. but you should never have the engine running even in neutral when there are swimmers in the water with in 10ft of the boat... Unless your a experienced boater and are 100% aware of every person in your area.

What piece of equipment on boat is most important in preventing propeller strike injuries?
ignition safety switch lanyard ETA: AKA: the "Kill Switch". Better than that is a good competent knowledge of boat handling and situational awareness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the above may kill the engine if the driver falls overboard, it would have no effect for when the driver runs over a person or an animal in the water. To prevent propeller injury , the propeller needs to be encased in a shroud or guard so that large objects can not be drawn into the blades. In my view all pleasure craft with exposed propellers should be fitted with these but people do not do so because it increases drag.
