Kids need active supervision at all times when in and around water. When there are multiple adults present, adults can take turns being the designated “water watcher.”

Looking for a fun, educational field trip for your kiddos during summer break? 😎

Take your summer-breakers to a local fire station near you for a tour! 🚒

Children will be able to see a firefighter in full gear and learn that he or she is someone who saves children and not someone to hide from or fear. 👨🏽‍🚒

Did you know that more older children and teens drown in open water than in pools? A day at the beach or the lake is fun for kids, but open water also has risks, which are different from those in a swimming pool. According to the United States Coast Guard, 87% of people who drown while boating were not wearing a life jacket. Be aware of situations that are unique to open water, such as limited visibility, depth, uneven surfaces, currents, and undertow.

A child’s body heats up 3-5 times faster than an adult’s. That means a parked car can become deadly in minutes – even on mild days. Every second counts when a child is left in a car. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, act immediately. Use free resources from the National Safety Council to educate everyone you know about safety risks: https://bit.ly/42vjbaF
