Anyone can drown, no one should.
Drowning prevention starts with YOU:
π Supervise children & donβt look away when they're near water
π¦Ί Use safety equipment like life jackets & make sure theyβre in place before going out on a boat
πββοΈ Learn to swim, or if you canβt swim, stay away from the water
π§οΈ Check the weather conditions, the depth of the water & the strength of the current before entering the water
π« Donβt drink alcohol near water. It dulls your senses & can cause fatal accidents near water
Remember! Drowning is often silent & goes unnoticed.
Watch for the signs when someone is struggling to stay afloat, itβs never too soon to respond.
