5 Tips for Safe Swimming this Summer!
1. Never swim alone: Always swim with a buddy, and make sure someone on shore knows you're in the water.
2. Wear a life jacket when appropriate: Children, weak swimmers, and anyone boating, paddling, or fishing should wear a properly fitted, approved life jacket.
3. Know the water conditions: Check for strong currents, sudden drop-offs, cold water, and changing weather before going in.
4. Keep children within arm's reach Never rely on flotation toys. Active adult supervision is the best way to prevent drowning.
5. Stay sober around the water: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, balance, and reaction time, increasing the risk of drowning.
