☀️ WATER SAFETY REMINDER 🌊

The Lighthouse Point Police Department reminds residents to stay alert and practice water safety at all times. With pools, canals, and waterways throughout our community, children should never be left unattended near water—even for a moment.

Please remember:

• Always maintain constant supervision of children around pools, canals, and other bodies of water
• Designate a responsible adult as a “water watcher”
• Ensure pool gates and barriers are secure
• Have children wear properly fitted life jackets when appropriate
• Enroll children in swim lessons and discuss basic water safety rules
• Learn CPR and be prepared to act in an emergency

Drowning can happen quickly and quietly. Taking a few simple precautions can help prevent a tragedy.

Stay safe and help us keep Lighthouse Point safe in and around the water.
