Water Safety Rules

Water can be a lot of fun! We love to swim at the pool, the lake, and the beach. But we must always follow important rules to stay safe near water.

The most important rule is to always have an adult with you. A grown-up can watch over you and help if something goes wrong. Never go near water alone.

It is also important to wear a life jacket when you are on a boat or in deep water. A life jacket keeps you floating if you fall in. Make sure it fits properly before you get in the water.

Always stay within arm's reach of an adult when you are in the water. Do not run near the pool — the ground can be very slippery! If you are not sure if it is safe, always ask a grown-up first.

Remember: water safety rules keep everyone safe and happy. Follow the rules every time!
