The lie is #1! Floaties are NOT a substitute for a properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Drowning can happen silently and in seconds, which is why active adult supervision is non-negotiable. Fenced pools with self-latching gates, swim lessons, and proper life jackets all work together to keep kids safer in the water.
