Swimming Tips

Do you like to play in or near lakes or rivers?

If so, please do the following:

• Wear a life jacket.
  
  
• Learn to swim. Ask your parents for swimming lessons.
  
  
• Never go near the water without your parents or someone else who can swim.
  
  
• Always swim in a safe area, a place that was made for swimming.
  
  
• Never dive into any lake or river. Tree stumps, rocks and floating logs can cause serious injury or death.
  
  
• Don't push or jump on others.
  
  
• Never pretend that you are drowning.
