Checking your phone may seem like a quick task, but it can turn into a major distraction—and have major consequences. Remember: Phones Down, Eyes Up™, while at the pool, lakefront, or ocean. Visit PhonesDownEyesUp.org to learn more about how to keep kids safe around water.

Tip # 2: Never swim alone without a water watcher. When kids are swimming, make sure they are supervised at all times. Teach your kids they should only swim where a lifeguard is on duty, or where a responsible adult watches the kids without distractions. #WaterSafetyMonth

Tip #3: Supervise your children whenever they’re in or near water. Whether it’s bath time or taking a dip in a pool or waterfront, make sure your children are within arm’s reach at all times. #WaterSafetyMonth

The final tip of Water Safety Month: Don’t engage in breath holding activities. Both adults and children should not hold their breath for a prolonged amount of time while swimming, as this can be dangerous. #WaterSafetyMonth

It’s hard to believe that George Williams could have imagined a future in which his tiny 1844 gathering in London would grow into a global effort to make people’s lives better. But it did, and we think that’s worth taking a minute to celebrate!
