It's heating up outside! ☀️ While the American Red Cross wants you to enjoy swimming weather, here are some safety tips to remember:
✔️ Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone.
✔️ Provide close and constant attention to children you are supervising, even when a lifeguard is present, no matter how well the child can swim or how shallow the water. Avoid distractions including cell phones.
✔️ Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child’s life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water.
✔️ Designate a “water watcher” whenever in a group setting.
Safe swimming! 🏊
