With the weather getting warmer people are starting to enjoy the waterbased activity. Water actives are fun, but it’s essential to always be aware of the risks associated with swimming, both in the pool and in the ocean. As you get you and your loved ones ready to enjoy the summer keep these TIPS in mind to stay SAFE.

Safety Tips: Keep your phone near. You can purchase a waterproof pouch to protect your cell phone, but it’s always a good idea to keep your phone handy in case of emergencies.

Before you go anywhere, stay up to date on the weather. Check for storms, boating forecasts, and sea reports as it applies to your unique situation.

Keep an eye on your children. Be sure to keep a close watch over your children during and after you’ve gone out to enjoy some fun at the pool or beach. Young children are slightly more susceptible to dry drowning, so be sure to know the symptoms and take note of any changes. Seek medical attention immediately if you suspect your child may be in danger.

WHAT WORKS BEST? BE SURE THAT CHILDREN ARE WEARING FLOATATION DEVICES.

SWIM IN AREAS THAT ARE MONITORED BY LIFEGUARDS.
