🌊💦 Splash Smart This Summer 💦🌊

As we head into the warmer months, many of us will be cooling off in pools, lakes, and rivers. Before you dive in, keep these important water safety tips in mind:
🚫 Never swim alone. Always swim with a buddy.
👀 Keep constant watch. Designate a responsible adult as the water watcher.
🛟 Wear life jackets. Especially for young children and weaker swimmers.
🧼 Shower before swimming. Helps keep pools clean and healthy.
🦶 Feet first, first time. Always enter water feet first to avoid injuries.
❌ Don’t dive into unknown waters. You never know how deep it is.
🚱 Don’t swallow pool/lake water. It can carry germs that make you sick.
🍹 Skip alcohol while swimming or supervising kids. Stay sharp and alert.
For more detailed water safety guidelines, visit the CDC's Healthy Swimming page.
Have fun, stay safe, and help prevent water-related accidents. Let’s make this a safe and healthy Summer for everyone!☀️
