🌊 National Drowning Prevention Week – Reminders

Being Water Smart starts with making simple choices that help keep everyone safe around the water.

🏖️ Choose to swim where lifeguards are on duty. Lifeguards help make swimming safer, but children should always be actively supervised and kept within arm's reach. Follow posted rules and listen to the lifeguards—they're there to help everyone enjoy the water safely.

🛟 Wear your lifejacket every time you're on the water. Whether you're boating, kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding, a properly fitted lifejacket is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and your loved ones. Just like a seatbelt, it only works when you wear it.

This summer, make water safety part of every adventure. Small choices can help create safe, enjoyable memories for everyone.

Stay safe, Ajax! 🚒
