PUBLIC SAFETY

Be Water Smart!

Every year nationwide, about 300 children under age five drown in swimming pools. In Florida, drowning is the leading cause of death for this age. It only takes seconds for an unattended child to get into trouble in a backyard pool, canal or lake.

The city hosts a Water Safety Day annually to provide entertaining and informative opportunities to learn about safe swimming and water precautions. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cypress Pool (1300 Coral Springs Dr.)

Simple Steps Save Lives:

Parents need to talk to their child about water safety. Here are some ideas to start with:

• Don’t go near a pool without an adult. This is the most simple and important water safety conversation to have.

• If you see someone struggling in the water, don’t jump in to help. Run and get an adult.

• If you fall into a pool, don’t panic. Turn around, find the wall, and climb out or yell for help.
