💧 Be Water Smart! 🌊

This summer, designate a Water Watcher — a responsible adult whose eyes stay on the kids in and near the water at ALL times. It's one of the simplest and most powerful ways to keep children safe. 💛 Because every splash should be a happy one. 🙌

Did you know drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children? 💧

At the YMCA of Greater Houston, we’re working every day, both in and out of the pool, to help change that. 💙

The Perry Family YMCA partnered with Kids First Head Start to bring water safety education beyond the pool, using dryland curriculum to reinforce lifesaving skills and awareness. 🛟

Together, we’re building safer, stronger swimmers and a safer community! 🌊
