lets learn water safety

Throw Don’t Go!

Throw Don’t Go!

If you see someone struggling in the water, never jump in after them. Even if you’re a strong swimmer, it can be very dangerous. Instead, find something that floats, like a pool noodle, kickboard, or life ring, and throw it to them. You can also use a long stick, towel, or even a pool toy to help pull them in safely.

Always call an adult or lifeguard right away. Remember, your safety comes first, you can be a hero by helping smartly!

Life Jackets!

Life Jackets!

Whenever you’re around deep water, at a waterpark, lake, or on a boat, make sure to wear a life jacket that fits just right. A good life jacket should be snug but comfortable, and it should not slip off when you raise your arms.

Life jackets keep you floating if you get tired or if you accidentally fall into the water. Even grown-ups wear them when boating or jet skiing, because safety is for everyone!

Buddy System

‘Da Buddy System!

Never swim alone! Always bring a buddy, a friend, sibling, or adult. Swimming with a buddy means there’s always someone there to help if you get tired or scared. It’s also a lot more fun!

Make sure your buddy knows the rules too. Keep an eye on each other and remind one another to take breaks and drink water when it’s hot outside.

Call for Help!

Call for Help!

Know where the lifeguards are and how to get their attention if something goes wrong. If you’re at a pool or beach and someone needs help, shout for help or wave your arms to alert a lifeguard or adult.

It’s also important to know how to call 911 in an emergency. Practice with your parents so you know what to say: stay calm, give your name, where you are, and what’s happening. You should always have a phone nearby so you can make the call.

Pool Rules Rule!

Pool Rules Rule!

Every pool has safety rules for a reason, to keep everyone safe and happy. Walk, don’t run, on pool decks so you don’t slip or fall, and obey no diving signs. No rough play or pushing, and always listen to the lifeguards or swim teachers.

Learn and follow the pool safety rules before you swim. When everyone follows the rules, swimming stays fun for everyone!

Assign a Water Watcher!

Assign a Water Watcher!

Every time people are swimming, there should be a special Water Watcher, an adult who keeps their eyes on the pool the whole time. That means no phones, no chatting with other parents, and no reading, just watching the swimmers to keep everyone safe!

You can even do a fun craft project with your parents! Make your own Water Watcher Tag that shows who’s in charge of watching the pool. Decorate it with stickers, colors, and drawings. When it’s ready, you can wear it on a string or lanyard!

Learn to Swim!

Learn to Swim!

Learning to swim is one of the most important ways to stay safe around water! Even if you only play in shallow areas, knowing how to float, kick, and move through the water can help you have fun and stay confident.

Ask your parents to sign you up for swim lessons with a certified instructor. They’ll teach you how to blow bubbles, float on your back, and use strong kicks and arms to move through the water. Summer swim time will be super fun!

You can also practice water safety skills right at home! Try lying on your stomach and practicing your flutter kicks, or use your bathtub or a bucket to practice blowing bubbles and getting comfortable with water on your face. But remember to always have adult supervision!
