Giant inflatables are better for the pool (with supervision). At the lake, offshore winds can blow them out of reach fast – with or without a child on them. If no one is on it, don’t chase it – let it go. If someone is, yell to them to hold on and not let go. #WaterSafetyMonth

Lifeguards are real-life superheroes and the best investment a shoreline community or park can make to keep their residents and visitors safe around the water. #WaterSafetyMonth

Get help on the way & get flotation to them as soon as possible. Look for rescue equipment or something that floats you can throw. If you decide to go in, bring it with you and keep it between you and them. Save yourself first. greatlakeswatersafety.org/resources-pare… #watersafetymonth

Flotation is key to survival when something goes wrong in the water, especially in freshwater Great Lakes where you're less buoyant than in the saltwater oceans. True for kids AND adults. #pleasewearit #wearit #greatlakes #watersafety #enddrowning
