Water safety

Drowning can happen quickly and quietly. Children should always be supervised around pools, bathtubs, lakes, rivers, beaches, and even buckets of water. Stay within arm's reach of young children near water at all times.

Swimming lessons can be valuable, but they never replace supervision.

Children's skin is sensitive to sunlight. Follow local recommendations regarding sunscreen use for different ages.
