According to NDPA, Water Watchers are responsible
adults who agree to actively and constantly supervise
children in the water.

If you or a loved one volunteer to be a designated
Water Watcher, keep in mind the “3 C’s” of
Supervision, a critical layer of protection:

Close: within an arm's reach

Constant: uninterrupted attention

Capable: can swim & knows CPR

To learn more about Water Watchers and how to use
supervision as one of the 5 Layers of Protection, visit
