As families enjoy the summer months, time spent at pools, lakes, rivers, and beaches can create lasting memories. It is also an important time to focus on water safety. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental injury-related death among children, but many tragedies can be prevented through education, preparation, and active supervision.
Hoosic Valley Central School District is committed to promoting the health and safety of our students and families. We encourage everyone to take a few moments to review the water safety and drowning prevention resources below. These trusted organizations offer valuable information on swim safety, life jacket use, emergency preparedness, and tips to help keep children safe in and around the water.
Together, we can help ensure that every child has a safe and enjoyable summer.
