Water Smart Rule #6: Know What to Do (Before You Need To)

🚨 Emergencies don’t wait. Learn how to recognize signs of distress, call for help, and respond calmly. Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling – use a long object to reach for them and pull them to safety.

Bonus: Take a CPR or water safety class at your local Y, because heroes aren’t born, they’re trained.

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)
Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not.

They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.

🚫 Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.

🏊 At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s about smart choices. So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for everyone.
