Summer Safety: Tips for Parents
• Stay Safe in the Water
• Teach kids to swim. Getting formal swimming lessons from a certified instructor can help reduce the risk of drowning.
• Kids should wear life jackets in and around natural bodies of water even if they can swim. Life vests are also a good idea at the pool for children who are not strong swimmers.
