Summer Water Safety You Can’t Ignore

Summer’s here and pools are calling—but safety can’t be ignored. Drowning is the top killer of kids under five and the second leading cause of accidental death for kids 5-14. Memphis is helping with affordable swim lessons ($25 for kids, $48 for adults) at Hickory Hill Park and Bickford Aquatics Center. The CDC also urges everyone to learn CPR—it could save a life while help arrives. Natural water spots? Skip them or wear a life jacket—hidden currents and rocks are deadly. Check the weather, ditch alcohol, swim with a buddy, and never let your eyes wander from kids. Watch for health risks too—heart issues or autism can increase danger. Stay smart, stay safe, and make this summer fun for everyone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
