How to stay safe in the water

According to the fire department, here are a few tips to stay safe in the water this summer: 

•Always wear a life jacket

•Never swim alone and never go in the water after drinking alcohol

•Stay within arm’s length of inexperience swimmers

•Always watch children in and around water and don’t assume someone else is watching

•Drain inflatable pools and coolers after each use, as toddlers can drown in one inch of water

•Learn CPR
