⛈️ Just a reminder to monitor weather conditions over the weekend.

With Memorial Day Weekend approaching, when swimming at aquatic centers, pools, splash pads, waterparks and open bodies of water for recreational water activities, it is vital to practice water safety.

Keep these water safety tips in mind:

*Provide Constant Adult Supervision — Actively supervise children and non-swimmers around the water, even when lifeguards are present. Don’t just drop kids off. Avoid distracting activities such as checking email or social media.
*Learn to Swim — No matter your age, learning to swim is one of the best ways to be safer in and around the water.
*Look for Lifeguards — Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.
Swim with A Buddy — Do not allow anyone to swim alone. Even at a public pool or a lifeguarded beach, use the buddy system.
*Wear A Life Jacket — Adults and kids should always wear a properly-fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket while boating. Non-swimmers and inexperienced swimmers should also always wear a life jacket when in and around the water. Inflatable toys can be fun but are not a substitute for U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets.
*Learn CPR — Learn how to prevent and respond to emergencies by learning CPR.
*Wear brightly colored swim suits so you can be seen easily

School is out for the Summer! Wishing all the students and teachers an amazing summer break. Be safe & stay hydrated!
