With summer just around the corner, it’s important to remember a few key water safety tips to keep yourself and others safe at the pool or beach.

1. Always Swim with a Buddy

Never swim alone. Even experienced swimmers should have a companion nearby in case of emergencies. This is especially important when swimming in open water.

2. Know Your Limits

Don’t push yourself beyond your swimming abilities. If you’re feeling tired, get out of the water and rest. Avoid swimming in rough waters if you’re not comfortable.

3. Learn CPR

Knowing CPR can save lives. Take a CPR course to be prepared in case of emergencies, particularly if you’re around children or large groups of people.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure a fun and safe summer in and around the water.
