🎄✨ Festive Water Safety Starts With You ✨🎄
Accidents happen in seconds. From our ER perspective, here’s how to keep pools, beaches, and rivers safe this holiday:
👶 Supervise Children – Never leave kids unattended near water.
👥 Never Swim Alone – Always have a buddy.
🛑 Secure Pools – Fence or net your pool to prevent accidental falls.
🌊 Respect Currents – Swim only in lifeguarded zones.
🤿 Check Depth Before Diving – Only dive where you can see the bottom.
🍺 Avoid Alcohol – Drinking impairs judgment and reaction time.
🚑 Know Emergency Numbers – In SA, dial 084124 from any cellphone.
💡 Stay hydrated, keep calm, and enjoy time with family and friends—while keeping water fun and safe.
