Tips to stay safe while cooling off

Posted: Updated:
INDIANA (WFIE) -

Recent drownings in Indiana have prompted the Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Department of Child Services to send out some reminders about water safety.

With family pools and various summer water activities coming up this summer it's important to remember these tips:

-Never leave children alone near a body of water.

-And also never leaver children alone in the hands of another child.

-Always have adult supervision.

-Plus swim in areas where there is a designated life guard on duty.

-And teach children never to dive into lakes or rivers because there could be unseen dangerous structures underneath the surface.
