We can all agree that children need supervision while swimming. According to statistics reports, drowning remains one of the leading cause of unintentional death in children under five years of age. Watch around the water is a well established program that offers education, but also promotes public awareness raising program which is meant to address the growing concern regarding supervision of young children at public swimming pools. Please be mindful of our watch around the water policy which is featured below:
