Water Safety
Understand water safety rules and practices
Staying Safe Around Water
Water can be fun but also dangerous. Swimming pools, rivers, dams, and the sea all need special care. Children must never swim alone — always have an adult watching.
Example
Water Safety Rules
Never go near a pool, river, or dam without an adult. Do not push or pull others near water. If you cannot swim, stay in the shallow end. If you see someone in trouble in water, do not jump in — call an adult for help.
Note
Remember
Learning to swim is an important life skill. If you get the chance to take swimming lessons, it will help keep you safe around water.
