A Statement on Water Safety David P. Driscoll

"As we move into the warm weather season, we need to be mindful about the fact that children are going to be finding ways to cool off by heading to pools, beaches and lakes. I want to remind everyone, especially parents, guardians, educators and recreational leaders, to take extra measures to keep all children safe around the water. I encourage families and others supervising children to review water safety guidelines to ensure that all children are safe when swimming."
