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

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
