Did you know? Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children. During the spring, warmer temperatures cause ponds, rivers and lakes to swell and the ice cover to weaken. The spring thaw brings serious dangers related to exposure to frigid water and the potential for drowning.
Safety Tips
Keep children away from the banks of ponds, streams and rivers during spring thaw
Always stay within arm’s reach and sight when children are in or around water
