Florida fun means water is everywhere — pools, beaches, lakes, and splash pads. Keeping kids safe starts with simple habits that make a big difference.
Top Water‑Safety Tips:
🛟 Always keep young children within arm’s reach (“touch supervision”)
💦 Use Coast Guard–approved life jackets for boating and open water
🚫 Avoid floaties — they give a false sense of security
👀 Designate a Water Watcher who stays distraction‑free
🏊 Teach kids to swim early, but remember: swimming skills don’t replace supervision
Together, we can help Florida families enjoy the water safely.
