Water Smart Rule #6: Know What to Do (Before You Need To)
Emergencies don’t wait. Learn how to recognize signs of distress, call for help, and respond calmly. Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling –use a long object to reach for them and pull them to safety.
Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)
Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.
