WATER SAFETY TIPS ACTIVE SUPERVISION, BARRIERS & SIGHTLINES
Always actively supervise children when they’re both in and around the water; ensure that pools are secured with appropriate barriers; and require children to swim within designated areas that are within sight of guardians and certified lifeguards.
TEACH THEM EARLY
Teach children to get comfortable in the water and swim at an early age and educate them early about water safety.
Never let children swim alone; always designate swimming buddies before visiting the beach or pool.
DON’T BE PUSHY
Instruct children to never run, push or jump on others in and around the pool.
I’M ON A BOAT
WEAR SUNSCREEN
Protect your skin from sun burn and sunstroke by wearing hats and sunglasses and applying sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher and limiting direct exposure for prolonged periods of time.
WHO’S YOUR BUDDY?
Children should always wear a PFD (personal flotation device) while on a boat.
SUIT UP
Make sure children always wear life jackets and use proper water safety and flotation devices.
GET CERTIFIED
Become certified in infant and child First Aid and CPR.
STAY HYDRATED Ensure that kids drink plenty of fluids to stay properly hydrated, especially on hot days.
