Even the best “doggy paddle” isn’t a substitute for water safety 🐶💦

Never swim alone and always keep close watch on children near water. Avoid distractions like phones while watching swimmers, and make sure weaker or inexperienced swimmers use a life jacket when needed.

Stay alert and stay close, because water safety matters for everyone.
