Summer Safety: Preparation Now = More Play Later

What's summer without a dip in the pool or a trip to the beach? Summer's a blast! Lemonade poolside, flip flops in the sand, family outings by boat.

Now for that bad news: Every day, about ten people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children aged 14 or younger. Drowning is the sixth leading cause of unintentional injury death for people of all ages, and the second leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14 years (via Center for Disease Control).

This is why we strongly urge everyone to read up on the following materials. Share them with your families and loved ones, particularly your children.
