Tip #20: Music makes us happy!

It’s time for a new summer playlist! 🎶

Did you know? Upbeat music can trigger the release of dopamine and endorphins! Both are known as feel-good chemicals in the brain that play a role in alleviating symptoms of depression.

Music also serves as a fantastic motivator when moving your body! If you haven’t already, take some time to curate the perfect playlist for your summer activities. 😉

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 course or swim lessons at the Y to help keep you and those around you safe! Visit our website:
