With warm weather finally here, let's talk about swimming safety for epilepsy.
A seizure that happens in any depth of water, shallow or deep, always requires a 911 call. Inhaling water during a seizure can cause illness, heart issues, or even drowning.
Never swim alone. Better still, only swim with people who know how to help if you have a seizure.
Stay hydrated and stop swimming before you get physically tired.
Have a safe and fun summer!
