Safe Kids: In or On the Water

Spending time with family and friends at the pool, the beach or on a river or lake is a favorite summer activity. Wherever you get your water fix this summer, keeping an eye on kids at all times is essential to their safety.  We hope you’ll celebrate the season by reviewing and sharing Safe Kids boating safety and pool and spa safety tips.
