Swim Safety in the Summer Sun

Cooling off on a hot day at the pool, lake, oceanfront or water park can be great fun. However, drowning is a real concern when enjoying yourself at these water retreats, even if you’re just swimming in your backyard. In fact, drowning is the second-leading cause of injuries for children under age 14, and even experienced swimmers are always at risk. Since a person can drown in less than two minutes once his/her head goes under, water safety awareness is intrinsically important to the health of you and your family.
