This is National Drowning Prevention Week and this year's theme from the Lifesaving Society of Ontario is SAFER TOGETHER.

Parents or caregivers should stay within arms' reach of young children, swim where the lifeguards are and the importance of not swimming or boating alone. Always wear a lifejacket while in a boat and remember - don't drink and swim, and don't drink and drive a boat.

Let's all work to ensure the rest of the swimming and boating season is safe for everyone. Learn more at lifesavingsociety.com.
