SUMMER SWIM UPDATE

It was a fun one at the Pan Am Pool on Saturday!
We could not do it without the work of our officials and volunteers!

Next meet will be Aug 9 in Beausejour!

It is National Drowning Prevention Week and we wanted to share some points on how to stay safe while swimming.

1. Only 1% of fatal drownings occur in lifeguard-supervised settings. Plan ahead and choose to swim where the lifeguards are.

2. Learning to swim is the best way you can prepare to be in, on, or around water.

3. Learning First Aid and CPR is an easy way to keep your loved ones safer.

Visit Lifesaving Society Manitoba for more information and water safety tips.
