Suggested Family Activity 🛟 Water Safety

Published by Library Staff on

Before you hit the water this year, make sure your family knows everything they can about water safety.  The American Red Cross website offers lots of information, such as the skills of water competency, what to do in a water emergency, and general water safety tips.  The information is presented in a variety of formats, such as videos and handouts.  They also offer a free online course (available in both English and Spanish) for parents and caregivers to learn the basics of water safety.  Check out their website here:  https://www.redcross.org/about-us/news-and-events/press-release/2024/swim-season-is-almost-here-red-cross-shares-critical-water-safety-tips-for-children-and-families.html
