QUICK TIPS FOR SAFE SUMMER SWIMMING
Additionally, know that not all poolside child safety gear is created equal. Always ensure children wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets and avoid relying on foam or air-filled items like water wings, pool noodles, or inner tubes. These accessories should be considered toys rather than legitimate safety aids, as they may not provide adequate protection in aquatic emergencies. ADVICE FOR AWARE ADULTS Of course, pool safety isn’t just for children. Whether you’re at the beach or home, swimming with at least one other person or having someone watch over your activities is critical to keeping you free from harm. Naturally, that person shouldn’t be glued to their phone or distracted in other ways, as they may need to react instantly. Most importantly, anyone supervising swimmers should be adequately trained in CPR. And, of course, always swim sober. Following these basic tips will reduce the risk of outdoor fun leading to an unnecessary accident or worse. Never lose sight of safety while enjoying all the joys that summer offers.

The adage “don’t believe everything you read” has never been more applicable than it is today.
