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!

Little kids are curious; and that’s a wonderful thing! Nurture their curiosity AND make sure they stay safe by keeping them within arm’s reach at all times whenever you’re around water. But remember, water safety is not just about pools! Kids can drown in as little as 1 inch of water. Installing bathroom door locks and toilet latches, and emptying all buckets, pools and tubs helps keep curious little ones safe.
