Do your children ‘Play it safe by the water’?
‘Play it Safe by the Water’ is a Victorian Government initiative that aims to increase community awareness of water safety and change Victorian’s behaviour in and around water.
Water Safety Week is the main feature of the campaign, running from Sunday 29 November - Sunday 6 December 2015. You can discover what you can do to make sure your children are safe around water with various community activities and events run throughout the campaign.
When you and your children are playing around water it's important to make sure that both you and they:
• Are aware and prepared for conditions
• Read safety signs to understand dangers
• Swim between the red and yellow flags wherever possible
• Never swim alone
• Children 5-14 years should always be in sight
Together we can ensure that Victoria's coastlines and pools are a safe and fun environment for all Victorians.
For more information about the campaign see: 'Play it safe by the water' - Aquatics & Recreation Victoria and http://www.watersafety.vic.gov.au/
