Swimming Tips

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.
