TAKE THE WATER SAFETY PLEDGE
- I pledge to be a Water Watcher and help keep kids safe in and around the water. As a Water Watcher, I agree to:
- Put down my phone and stay alert.
- Avoid distractions like books and long conversations.
- Never use drugs or alcohol while in or around water.
- Actively supervise children and ensure weak or non-swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets and stay within arm’s reach of a responsible adult.
- Remove all children from the water and call 911 in the event of an emergency.
- Learn CPR.
- Learn how to swim and teach my children to swim.
