🌊 Beach Safety Reminders
With sunny beach days ahead, it’s important to make safety your top priority. Always swim near lifeguard stations, observe daily flag warnings, and keep a close eye on children when they’re near the water. Simple steps like these help prevent accidents and ensure everyone enjoys a fun, relaxing day at the beach.
The Drowning Prevention Coalition of Palm Beach County offers valuable programs and educational resources to help residents stay safe around water. Their mission is to reduce drownings through awareness, swimming lessons, and community outreach.
