Keep your kids safe while near pools with these tips, and check out the American Red Cross website for more ideas:

• Never swim alone. Always swim with an adult.
• Take swimming lessons!
• Learn to float and grab the wall for safety.
• Never play with toys near the pool. Parents, make sure you always pick up toys from the perimeter of the pool; keeping them out will tempt children to play unsupervised.
• Wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder / lightning prior to re-entering the water.

Always wear sunscreen when swimming outside.
