Safety Tips for Water Fun:
- Always supervise children. Never leave them alone near water.
- Make sure that you, your friends, and family know how to swim. This is the easiest way to stay water safe.
- Only swim in designated areas. There is a reason why certain places are not designated swimming areas and often it is a case of safety. Also, you are visible and can gain assistance in designated, populated areas.
- Be aware of your own swimming limitation. Do not try to exceed them to keep up with more experienced swimmers. Do not take risks.
- Avoid bringing inflatable toys that can be blown into the water. Children often chase these toys into the water, leading to dangerous situations.
- Remain aware of water depth. The surprise of deep water can create difficult situations.
- Always swim in groups of 2 or more. Keep watch others and always make sure there are others around who can keep watch of you.
- Avoid the use of alcohol in the vicinity of water. This impairs judgment which can be dangerous around water.
- Learn First Aid and Lifesaving skills. These can be extremely useful on beach vacations. Not only do they help to keep you and your family safe but it puts you in a position where you can help others.
- Young children and weak swimmers should wear life jackets or other personal flotation devices (PFDs) at all times.
