WATER SAFETY MATTERS - TIPS FOR A SAFE AND CONFIDENT SUMMER
With warmer weather on the way, it’s a great time to remind the community about the importance of water safety. Whether your child is swimming at the pool, playing at the beach, or splashing in the backyard, knowing how to stay safe around water is essential.
Top Tips for Kids:
- Always swim with an adult watching – supervision saves lives.
- Learn to float and tread water – these skills help in unexpected situations.
- Stick to safe swimming areas – pools and patrolled areas are best.
- Follow pool and beach rules – they’re there to keep everyone safe.
- Never dive into unknown water – hidden dangers can cause serious injury.
Talking about water safety at home helps children build confidence and make smart choices. It’s also a great way to prepare for summer fun and ensure every swim is a safe one.
For more tips and resources, visit Royal Life Saving Australia or come speak with us at Gurri Wanyarra Wellbeing Centre.
Let’s work together to keep our kids safe, active, and smiling this season!
