Heading To The Lake Or Ocean This Summer

• Swimming in an open body of water (river, lake or ocean) is different from a pool.

• Don't let kids swim without close adult supervision.

• Lakes or ponds might be shallow near the bank but get deep quickly away from shore.

• Be aware of hidden hazards like limited visibility, depth, distances and drop-offs, currents and tides.

• Always swim in designated areas.

Open water becomes deep quick, ALWAYS watch your kids in the water!
