WATER SAFETY 101 These 5 important swimming safety tips are what you should be aware of before you head out to the pool or beach. 1. Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards. 2. Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone. 3. Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child’s life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water. 4. Protect your skin. Limit the amount of direct sunlight you receive between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and wear sunscreen. 5. Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them.
