As summer is underway and fami-
lies go to pools, lakes and beaches,
the Calhoun County Public Health
Department is working with Region 5
Medical Control Authority Network
to raise awareness about water safety
and prevention tips to keep families
safe this summer.
The Health Department (CCPHD)
says summer swim swimming tips
include:
“Know how to swim; taking swim
lessons reduces the risk of drowning.

“Wear a life jacket. They can save

lives by keeping you afloat if you

find yourself in water unexpectedly.

“Don’t swim alone. Always make

sure you have someone with you

when you go swimming.

“Try to pick places to swim that

have lifeguards on duty if it is pos-

sible.

“Pay attention to any posted signs

or flags at the beach.

“Avoid alcohol while swimming.

Drinking alcohol impairs judgment

Tips promote water safety this summer

and coordination.”

Supervising children in water safe-

ty tips include:

“Do not drink alcohol while super-

vising children.

“Designate a responsible adult to

supervise closely and constantly

when children are in or near water,

including home pools.

“Learn CPR. Accidents can hap-

pen in the water, and being prepared

could save a life.”

Additionally, lakes and rivers have

hidden hazards, such as dangerous

currents or waves, rocks or vegeta-

tion, and limited visibility.

The agencies recommend chcking

the weather forecast before engaging

in activities in, on or near water.

Local weather conditions can

change quickly and cause

dangerous flash floods,

strong winds and thun-

derstorms with lightning

strikes.

It’s important to avoid

bodies of water during

these moments and seek

shelter if weather condi-

tions start to turn unsafe,

the CCPHD said.

“Our mission is to ensure

that every member of our

community can enjoy the

water safely this summer,” said Eric

Pessell, health ffficer at the Calhoun

County Public Health Department.

“By partnering with the R5MCAN,

we aim to provide vital information

and resources to prevent drownings

and promote healthy swimming prac-

tices.”

“Water safety is a shared respon-

sibility,” added Region 5 Medical

Control Authority Network

(R5MCAN), Calhoun County EMS

Medical Director Dr. Stephanie Van

Alsten. “Through this partnership

with CCPHD, we hope to reach as

many families as possible with life-

saving information and encourage

proactive measures to keep our chil-

dren and communities safe.”
