Water Safety for Kids
Before you get in
Ari and Hugo arrive at a beach with their whānau. The sea looks calm, but they cannot see the whole beach from the car park.
- Swim anywhere that looks calm.
- Ask their supervising adult, check for lifeguards, and swim between the red and yellow flags.
- Go in while their adult unpacks the bags.
- Stay out of the river and follow the warning; choose a safer activity with their adult.
- Wade in only up to their knees.
- Test the current by throwing in a stick and then swim.
Spot the safer choice
Water can be risky at beaches, rivers, lakes, swimming pools, and even at home. Rules change with the place, so listen to adults and follow signs.
- Dive carefully, as long as nobody is nearby.
- Never dive into the shallow end; follow pool rules and use a safe entry.
- Ask another child to check the depth.
- You see someone struggling in the water.
- You are at a beach with surf lifesavers.
- You are unsure whether a spot is safe for swimming.
- Swim between the red and yellow flags with adult supervision.
- Stay out and ask a responsible adult or lifeguard.
- Call loudly for an adult or lifeguard; do not jump in.
Make a safe-help plan
If someone is in trouble in the water, a child should get help rather than becoming a second person in danger. Call out, alert an adult or lifeguard, and follow their instructions.
