Learn how to help keep your family safe in, on and around all kinds of water environments, including home pools, waterparks and more with these helpful water safety tips.

Warm weather means activities and fun under the sun! Whether you love putting on shorts and feeling the warm outdoors, or find it hot and sticky, everyone must be careful not to let a heat-related illness spoil the day.

The warmer months are a time for fun in the sun, and water safety is integral to making sure your family stays safe in and around the water. Whether you’re the parent of a child or just a child at heart, be sure to follow these safety tips when near the water.

The lazy, hazy days of summer are here and many of us are heading to the beach for fun and sun.  The American Red Cross and the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) would like everyone to enjoy their time by offering tips for both ocean and beach safety. 

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, bringing warm weather, barbeques and swimming. Many pools will also open for the first time this year over the weekend, and the Red Cross urges kids and adults to be safe on this holiday weekend and the rest of summer.
