When you hit the lake, do you take the life vest? When you're at the beach, do you stay on the blanket or stay by your toddler?
Things to keep in mind as we focus on Drowning Prevention Week. Recreation Program Supervisor Shelly Howe says the biggest focus is on the pool.
"We still encourage everyone to swim with a buddy, come with someone and make sure that you're checking in with them. The rules are in place for everyone's safety and so we encourage everyone to follow the basic pool rules like doing laps before going in the deep and walking while on the slippery pool deck."
Lifesaving demonstrations are being held all week at both the Phyllis Dewar and the Kinsmen Pool.
