Are you water wise?

When you go swimming:

• Keep all glass objects away from the pool area.
• Never participate in water sports alone.
• Always use the buddy system.
• Make sure you have adult permission and supervision.
• Be familiar with safety equipment and know where it is located.
• Don't dive at the shallow end of a pool or into a shallow pool.
• Don't participate in outdoor water sports in bad weather.
• If someone is drowning--get help right away.
• If a telephone is near, call 9-1-1 or "O" for operator.
• Don't hang up until you are told do so; listen for instructions.
