Swimming safety tips

  • When in and around water, remember these safety precautions:
  • Adults should constantly watch children in and near the water. If multiple adults are in the vicinity, designate a "water watcher" so everyone knows who is "on duty."
  • Inexperienced swimmers should take precaution and wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device when in, on or around the water.
  • Children who are beginners should stay within arm's reach of an adult in the water.
