Swimming Advice for All Ages

• Never force a child to learn to swim. If he or she is afraid, they are not ready yet.
• Learn, practice, and remember how to float.
  
• Only swim in areas where there is a lifeguard or an adult watching.
  
• Use the buddy system. Never swim alone.
  
• Always obey the lifeguard and follow posted swimming rules.
  
• No rough play or showing off.
  
• If you hear thunder or see lightning, get out of the water.
