Keep your family safe on the water this summer with these helpful tips: All family members should confidently know how to swim and float in water. Never swim alone. Only swim in lifeguard-supervised areas. Never dive headfirst into any pool or body of water unless area is clearly designated for diving without obstructions. Maintain constant supervision of children near water, regardless of their skill level or age. Always teach children to ask permission to go swimming. Even if you are not swimming always be cautious around all natural bodies of water. Anytime you go out in a boat, make sure someone knows where you are going and how long you plan to be out. Check weather reports, and stop boating if you see or hear of a storm.
Inspect the boat and motor well, and make sure everyone on board has a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket. Always keep a throwable PFD (personal flotation device), fire extinguisher, sound producing devise and visible distress signal devices on board. Set water safety rules for your family, and make sure everyone fully understands and abides by them. Adults and teens should take a CPR course.

HOME SECURITY CHECKLIST If your plans this summer include leaving your home for an extended period of time, don’t leave it unprotected. Here are a few important steps to help keep your home safe while you’re away.
Mow the lawn just before you leave or pay someone to mow it another time while you’re away.
Prune overgrown bushes and low hanging tree branches which may hide and provide access to an upper floor.
Leave your vacation itinerary and contact information with a trusted neighbor.
Hire a house sitter to water your plants, feed your pet and give your house a “lived-in” look. The sitter can stay overnight or check on your house once or twice a day.
Have a neighbor put out your trash and recycling on the correct day and put it away once emptied.
Don’t announce your vacation plans on social media or check in on Facebook from remote locations unless you’re only posting to trusted Friends.
Make sure all windows are shut and locked. Be sure to use the deadbolt on your doors.
Never hide keys in obvious places (such as under flower pots, doormats, rocks, etc.)
Disconnect your garage door opener so thieves can’t open it with a universal remote. Invest in an alarm system and before you leave, check that it’s communicating with your monitoring service.
Get timers or wireless controllers for your indoor and outdoor lights and set them to go on/off during regular hours. Motion triggered exterior lights are a great deterrent to thieves. Explore options which now allow you to control lighting, electrical outlets, your garage door and even answer your doorbell from a mobile phone app.
Put a hold on your mail online at holdmail.usps.com or have a neighbor pick up your mail every day.
