Swimming Safety


Swimming in a river, lake or at the beach is more fun when 
everyone is safe. Keep in mind: 

*	Only swim in approved areas,
*	Never leave young children alone in the water,
*	Older kids should swim with an older friend or adult,
*	Check water depth before swimming or diving, 
*	Ensure every child wears a proper fitting life jacket, 
when on a boat or near water, and 
*	Never rely on a life jacket alone to protect your child.
