Stay safe, have fun in water!
Our aquatics experts encourage you and your family to follow these tips so water lovers of every age stay safe in and around water.
1. Learn to swim. It’s never too late and the best thing you can do to stay safe in and around water.
2. Take water safety seriously and serve as a role model for youth.
3. Only swim where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone.
4. Constantly watch children in/near water. Designate an adult “water watcher” so everyone knows who is on duty.
5. Inexperienced swimmers should wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device (PFD) in, on or around water. Beginner children should swim within arm's reach of an adult.
Build a Healthy Family Home
At the Y, we understand that health begins at home. We support families in their efforts to build the five pillars that support a healthy family home: eat healthy, play every day, get together, go outside and sleep well.
