As we spend more time outside and in or around water, it’s crucial that we familiarize ourselves with water safety information that will protect the entire family! Drowning can happen in an instant, without notice or much noise. So as we get out and enjoy some fun in the sun, keep these water safety tips in mind to ensure a fun-filled summer for you and your family!
For questions regarding this or other safety information, you may contact Lacy Coffren at the Garrett County Health Department- Early Care Programs- 301-334-7720.
Every child should learn how to swim. When to start swimming lessons is an individual decision for parents, based on their child’s development. Talk with your pediatrician about whether your child is developmentally ready. And remember, even with swim lessons, other drowning prevention measures are still needed!
