Keep these six water safety tips in mind:
Provide Constant Adult Supervision — Actively supervise children and non-swimmers around the water, even when lifeguards are present. Don’t just drop kids off. Avoid distracting activities such as checking email or social media.
Learn to Swim — No matter your age, learning to swim is one of the best ways to be safer in and around the water.
Look for Lifeguards — Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.
Swim with A Buddy — Do not allow anyone to swim alone. Even at a public pool or a lifeguarded beach, use the buddy system.
Wear A Life Jacket — Adults and kids should always wear a properly-fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket while boating. Non-swimmers and inexperienced swimmers should also always wear a life jacket when in and around the water. Inflatable toys can be fun but are not a substitute for U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.
Learn CPR — Learn how to prevent and respond to emergencies by learning CPR.
