Never leave children alone in or near the water,
even for a minute. Watch children with care at all times.
Water Safety Tips
- Teach your child to swim and make sure they are aware of hazards surrounding them.
- Adults should take turns being "child watchers"
when children are swimming. Do not let your child
play around water without adult supervision (even
if he/she is a good swimmer).
- Older children and teens shouldn't swim alone. They
should use a 'buddy' system by always swimming with
a friend, preferably in areas that are supervised
by a lifeguard.
- Don’t allow running or rough play around the
water.
