Remain safe this summer at the pool and around other bodies of water with these safety tips!

🏊 Always swim with a buddy: No one should swim alone. This includes kids and adults.

👀 Designate a Water Watcher: When kids are in the water, one adult should be actively watching at all times. This means phone down, eyes up.

🦺 Life jackets save lives. On open water, boats, docks, and unfamiliar areas, wear one.

🚫 Know your limits. Lakes and rivers have currents, drop-offs, and conditions that pools don't. When in doubt, stay out.

📞 Know when to call for help. If someone is in distress, call 911 immediately. Don't wait.
