If you're celebrating this weekend, around the water, be sure take a few extra precautions to help keep everyone safe.💦
Here are a few simple reminders to help keep water safety top of mind this holiday weekend!

Florida has now lost 51 children to drownings this year, and each number represents a child, a family, and a tragedy that changes lives forever.

The heartbreaking reality is that many of these incidents are preventable. We must continue to build and strengthen the layers of protection that help keep children safe around water:

Constant, undistracted supervision
Pool fences with self-latching gates
Doors and windows locked and alarmed at all times
Quality Self-Rescue swim lessons
Designated Water Watchers
Remove pet doors
Dress them in bright clothing
Learning CPR

We are also seeing a growing number of drownings occur at vacation homes and short-term rentals, where families may be unfamiliar with the property and safety barriers may not be in place. Water safety must travel with us wherever we go.

As summer continues, please take a moment to review your layers of protection. Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, but together we can help prevent these tragedies.

Most people think drowning looks like the movies — splashing, screaming, waving for help.
It doesn't.
Drowning is fast and silent. And it's the #1 cause of accidental death in children ages 1–4 — not car accidents, not falls. Drowning.
A child can drown in moments. In the time it took you to read this far, a child can drown. In most cases, a supervising adult was present — they were just distracted or weren't expecting the child to have access to the water.
That's why active supervision — eyes on the water, every second — isn't just a suggestion. It's the difference.
👉 Follow us for the tools and knowledge to keep your family safe in and around the water.

Designating a Water Watcher is one of the simplest things you can do to keep kids safe at the beach — and one of the most overlooked. 👀

Here's how it works:
🔵 One adult. One job. Watch the water.
🔵 No phones. No side conversations.
🔵 Rotate every 15–20 minutes so you stay alert.

Drowning is fast and silent. Active supervision isn't optional — it's everything.

Lifeguards Are Not Babysitters!

Lifeguards are trained to respond in emergencies—but they should never be your child’s only line of defense at the pool.

Drowning can happen in seconds, and even the most attentive lifeguard can’t watch every child every second—especially in crowded or chaotic environments.

Parents and caregivers must stay within arm’s reach of young or inexperienced swimmers at all times. Active supervision saves lives.

Let’s work together to keep our kids safe.

Remember this: If it's play time in the water for them, it's work time for you. If you want to relax in or around the water, designate a day when you can go without them. If they are there, you are on the clock and watching at all times.
