Water Safety Tip Poster Contest
The 1st place winner in the age 8 and under category was Callista Brossman. Her safety tip is “don’t swim without permission”. It is very important to teach children to ask if they can go swimming so that a parent or guardian can be with them, preventing any accidents from happening.
The 1st place winner in the age 9 and over category was Samantharose Mansour. Her tip when swimming is to “stay close to a lifeguard”. This is especially true at beaches and public pools. Lifeguards are there to help prevent accidents and to respond to emergencies. Lifeguards should never be seen as a replacement for parental supervision around water.
