Safe Water Fun

Hot weather often means finding relief in the water. Whether it’s the ocean, pool or lake, follow these tips for a fun and healthy summer!

  • Never swim alone. Always enjoy the water with a buddy.
  • When boating always wear a life jacket! Don’t rely on life jackets alone. Make sure everyone knows how to swim.
  • Make sure children are always supervised by another adult – even with life guards present.
  • Stay away from pipes or drains.
  • Ensure that everyone stays hydrated and continues reapplying sunscreen.
  • If you have a pool at home make sure it is protected by at least a 4 foot fence, keep furniture and toys away from the pool.
  • For an additional precaution – become certified in CPR through your local hospitals or Red Cross.
