Did you know: Water safety isn't just for summertime at pools and beaches! ​

Water safety should be done near any source of water, like splash pads, wading pools, water tables, buckets, and bathtubs. ​

Tips for keeping kids safe near the water: ​

1. Always have a "water watcher" who is paying attention and within arm's reach of the child​

* "Water watchers" should be 18 or older, and must not be distracted or under the influence of any alcohol or drugs. ​

2. When you're finished with the water, empty standing sources of water when possible. If not, make sure the water source is locked or blocked off.​

3. Consider taking a First Aid / CPR class.​

4. Consider swim lessons for your child (or yourself!) ​
