Water Safety Is Top Priority in the Summer: Here Are 5 Tips for Families by Holly Budde

Summer is here, and that means time to play in the water. A favorite summer pastime, swimming, also can be dangerous. Here are my thoughts on safety around water:

• Never rely on swimming lessons alone.

• Teach kids to respect the water and watch them constantly.

• When you're swimming with your kids at the pool, beach or lake, stay off the phone until break time.

• In the boat or at the shore, make sure all kids have life jackets.

• Never rely on flotation devices. 

Safety first! I've had both my kids in the water since infancy, they are avid swimmers and water sportsman, yet these rules are never bent.
