Anyone can drown, no one should.

Drowning prevention starts with you:
👀 Supervise children & don’t look away when they're near water.
🦺 Use safety equipment like life jackets & make sure they’re in place before going out on a boat.
🏊‍♂️ Learn to swim, or if you can’t swim, stay away from the water.
🌧️ Check the weather conditions, the depth of the water & the strength of the current before entering the water.
🚫 Don’t drink alcohol near water, it dulls your senses & can cause fatal accidents near water.

Remember! Drowning is often silent & goes unnoticed.
Watch for the signs when someone is struggling to stay afloat, it’s never too soon to respond.
