Don’t let floaties fool you.

Water wings and puddle jumpers can make kids feel confident—but they’re not life-saving devices. And they don’t replace your eyes on the water. Always choose a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

Stay alert, stay close, and stay distraction-free.

People of all colors get skin cancer.

When skin cancer develops in people of color, it’s often in a late stage when diagnosed. The good news is you can find skin cancer early.
