Water Safety Tips |
- Swim only in supervised areas.
- Always swim with a buddy
- Always follow beach/pool rules and regulations. They are there for your safety.
- Don't rely on flotation devices to keep you above the water. Learn to swim!
- If you get caught in a rip tide, don't swim against it. Instead, swim parallel to the shore until you are free from the pull. If you are a weak swimmer, tread water and signal the lifeguard for help.
- Keep a phone near the pool, and keep "911" visible at all times.
- Whenever there is thunder and lightning, remember this little line: "If you hear it, clear it. If you see it, flee it."
- Always wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen with an SPF of 45 is best, and make sure it is rubbed into the skin thoroughly.
- When you are out in the sun and water for the day, take breaks often. Get into the shade and drink plenty of water.
- Never swim on a full stomach.
