☀️💦 Ready, Steady… WATER SAFE! 💦☀️
As many of our families prepare for summer holidays, we wanted to share some simple but important water safety reminders for little ones 🌊🩱

👀 Stay close to a grown-up
🦺 Wear life jackets near deep water
🌈 Choose bright coloured swimwear to help children stay visible in the water
☀️ Stay sun safe with hats, sunscreen and lots of drinks
🏖️ Swim only in safe, supervised areas

Water safety starts with awareness, preparation and supervision — helping children stay safe whilst still having lots of holiday fun! 💛
