Attention all parents and caregivers! It's crucial to remember that lifeguards should never replace your active supervision in or around water. Even when lifeguards are present, always keep a watchful eye on your children. Lifeguards are trained professionals who play a critical role in maintaining pool safety. However, they have numerous responsibilities and may not be able to focus solely on your child at all times. Remember, we all have a role in ensuring a safe and enjoyable swimming experience. So, whether you're at a public pool, a water park, or even in your own backyard, please prioritize constant, capable, and close supervision!

¡Atención a todos los padres y cuidadores! Es fundamental recordar que los salvavidas nunca deben reemplazar su supervisión activa dentro o alrededor del agua. Aunque haya salvavidas presentes, siempre mantenga una vigilancia constante sobre sus hijos. Los salvavidas son profesionales capacitados que desempeñan un papel esencial en la seguridad acuática. Sin embargo, tienen múltiples responsabilidades y es posible que no puedan concentrarse únicamente en su hijo en todo momento. Recuerde que todos tenemos un papel importante para garantizar una experiencia de natación segura y agradable. Ya sea que se encuentre en una piscina pública, un parque acuático o incluso en su propio patio, ¡priorice siempre una supervisión constante, cercana y responsable!
