Pool Safety
Water safety is critical to a successful summer. The Y encourages children and adults to have fun and enjoy the various benefits of swimming, but to always make safety their first priority. We recommend children and adults practice the following safety tips when in and around the water:
- Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone.
- Adults should constantly and actively watch their children.
- Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
- Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach.
- Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities.
- Always followed posted rules, policies or guidelines.
