Labor Day weekend is almost here. 🎉

Pools, lakes, and backyard gatherings — it's one of the best weekends of summer. But drowning doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care how old you are, how well you swim, or how many people are around. It can happen to anyone, anywhere there's water.

The good news? Layers of protection dramatically lower the risk. No single layer is enough on its own — but stacked together, they save lives.
🛟 Assign a water watcher — a sober adult, phone-free, with eyes only on the water the entire time.
🚪 Secure access points — fences, gates, and door alarms keep curious kids from wandering into water unsupervised.

One layer can fail. Multiple layers protect. Share this to save a life this weekend. 💙
