Water Safety/Drowning Safety/Life Jackets/Rip Currents (suggested posts)

Post 1

Drownings are silent. It’s not like in the movies with flailing arms and calls for help. It can happen in just a matter of seconds. Commissioner Causey reminds all parents and caregivers to watch children closely around the water.

If you’re out on the water, play it safe, wear a #LifeJacket! Drownings are the leading cause of death among children under age 4. Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. For more #WaterSafety tips, visit: https://www.ncosfm.gov/community-risk-reduction/safe-kids/water-safety

Did you know!? 750 children drown each year, and about half the time, it happens within 25 yards of a parent or adult! Parents -- always keep BOTH EYES on your children around the water. For more #WaterSafety tips, visit: https://www.ncosfm.gov/community-risk-reduction/safe-kids/water-safety

Heading to the beach? Beware of #RipCurrents. Check the warning flags at the beach before getting in the water. If you are caught in a rip current, stay calm and don’t fight it. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. For more #WaterSafety tips, visit: https://www.ncosfm.gov/community-risk-reduction/safe-kids/water-safety
