What is water safety and why is it important?
“Drowning is the second most common cause of death from injuries among kids under the age of 14.”If the water is too cold, don’t swim in it. The coldness makes your muscles weak and can prevent you from swimming or getting out of the water.Knowing the depth of the water you will be swimming in is important. You would not want to jump into the water and hit the bottom surface, a rock, or get trapped in seaweed.
