• Stay Safe in the Water This Summer

  Whether you're heading to the pool, beach, or waterfront, a few simple precautions can help keep everyone safe. Always swim when a lifeguard is on duty, keep children within arm’s reach, know how to respond to rip currents, and check water conditions before entering the water. By staying aware and prepared, you can enjoy a fun and safe summer in and around the water.
