Summer travel means new pools, new places, and new water safety reminders. ☀️

Whether you're heading to a hotel pool, spending the day at the beach, or visiting family with a backyard pool, a little preparation can help keep kids safer around the water.

A few quick reminders families often find helpful:
• Take a few minutes to look around and spot exits, lifeguards, and safety equipment
• Stay close and actively supervise, especially in unfamiliar water environments
• Use Coast Guard-approved life jackets when a personal flotation device is needed
• Talk with kids about pool rules before they jump in

Every pool or body of water is a little different, so building strong water safety habits helps kids stay prepared wherever summer takes them. 🏖️
