that you
always go swimming with at least one friend.
You need
an adult to supervise your splashing,
to keep
everyone safe, and to make your day smashing!
B-T Aquatics Motto:
We swim for good times!
Good times in the swimming pool always involve more than one person.
It’s important to never go swimming by yourself. It’s not a good
idea to play near a swimming pool by yourself either.Always have a buddy with you in and near a swimming pool.
Adults are your best buddies! Have an adult
watch you swim, even when you are swimming in your own back yard.
Most of the time I don't like to use the words
"never" and "always," however in this instance they are appropriate:
NEVER swim alone - not even for
just a few minutes.
ALWAYS have an adult with you
when you swim. Always means during
every second you are in or near the water. If the adult
watching you needs to use the restroom or talk on the phone for a
minute, you need to get out of the water and wait until she can
watch you again.
How
can you help keep yourself safe?
Be smart. Stay away from the
swimming pool when you are by yourself.
Be patient. When you really
like swimming you can be in a hurry to get into the pool. You may
have to wait for your family and friends. Do not go in the water
until everyone is ready.
Be a good sport. Get out of
the water without complaining when asked. Sometimes your adult may
need you to get out of the water to keep you safe. Jump right out
with a smile on your face, even if you are a little sad. You want
to be safe too, right?
