As Water Safety Month comes to an end, remember that drowning can happen in seconds — in pools, lakes, bathtubs, and any body of water. Knowing the signs of drowning can help save a life. It is important to recognize the signs of drowning. ⚠️

-Little to no splashing or yelling for help -Arms pressing down on the water
-Head low in the water
-Difficulty moving forward or staying afloat -Eyes that appear closed or glassy

Drowning is often silent because a person struggling to breathe cannot call out for help. Being prepared matters. Learning CPR or becoming Lifeguard certified is a great first step in helping during an emergency. The Terra Linda Community Center & Pool offers training opportunities year-round to help build lifesaving skills in our community. 🛟

Para terminar el Mes de la Seguridad Acuática, recuerda que el ahogamiento puede ocurrir en segundos — en piscinas, lagos, bañeras y cualquier cuerpo de agua. Es importante conocer las señales de ahogamiento puede ayudar a salvar una vida. ⚠️

- Poco o ningún chapoteo o gritos de ayuda - Brazos empujando hacia abajo en el agua - La cabeza baja en el agua
- Dificultad para avanzar o mantenerse a flote
- Ojos cerrados o con mirada perdida

El ahogamiento suele ser silencioso porque una persona que lucha por respirar no puede pedir ayuda. Estar preparado es importante. Aprender RCP o certificarse como salvavidas es un gran primer paso para ayudar en una emergencia. El Terra Linda Community Center & Pool ofrece oportunidades de capacitación durante todo el año para ayudar a desarrollar habilidades que salvan vidas en nuestra comunidad. 🛟
