Prevent drowning!
▪️Learn to swim: Take swimming lessons and teach children water safety skills.
▪️Use the buddy system: Never swim alone and always go with a buddy, especially in natural water.
▪️Learn CPR: Get trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and basic rescue skills.
▪️Avoid alcohol: Do not drink alcohol before or during water activities. Alcohol impairs judgment and coordination.
▪️Swim in safe areas: Choose swimming locations with lifeguards when possible.
▪️Check conditions: Be aware of weather and water conditions before swimming or boating.
