💦 Stay safe around water this summer! Swimming is a fun way to cool off, but it’s important to stay safe around pools and open water. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children ages 1-4. It can happen in seconds, often silently, even when kids aren't supposed to be swimming.
Keep your family safe with these must-know tips:
👀 Active supervision is key. Always watch kids near water, even if it’s a small amount of water.
👙 Blue and green swimsuits blend in. Dress your child in bright, contrasting colors like red, pink, or orange so you can easily see them under water!
🏊🏾‍♀️ Teach kids to never swim alone, no matter their skill level.
🛟Learn CPR. It could mean the difference between life and death.
