Safe Swimming in the Ocean

It's swimming season, and we all know to be vigilant when watching kids at the beach or in the pool. You may think you know the signs that someone is drowning or needs help, but it can look very different from what you see on TV!

With all the advisories we've been issued lately, along with the deaths of a 10 year old and a 17 year old in our ocean within a week's time (both swimming when no lifeguards were on duty), here is some important information from the United States Lifesaving Association and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
