Swimming
It’s
fun to swim,
but never
swim without
an adult around
to watch you.
Even if you
are a great
swimmer, it
is always
best to have
an adult around
for extra
safety.
When you are swimming, keep these tips in mind.
- Never swim during a storm or when there is lightning.
- Never swim alone. Always use the buddy system.
- Swim only in safe, guarded areas.
- Know how deep the water is.
- Don’t dive or jump into water that is not at least 12 feet deep.
- Don’t run around a pool, push people in or dunk other swimmers.
- Don’t chew gum or eat food while swimming, diving or playing
in the water.
- Take swimming lessons.
- Be extra careful in the ocean and don’t run into the waves, which
can knock you down.
- Rivers are very dangerous for swimming. It is best to stay out
of them.
