Life jackets at the lake are like seatbelts in cars! Everyone should be wearing one. No excuses! #LiVeLoVeLifeVest

The weather is starting to warm up, and it's time to refresh your #ABCsofWaterSafety!

Spending time at the lake this weekend? Make sure everyone--kids, teens, and adults included--wears a USCG approved life jacket when swimming or boating in the lake. Lake water is murky and doesn't give second chances--just wear it! #abcsofwatersafety

Some reminders for the hot weather we are facing; have fun and stay safe!

It's National Water Safety Month! What steps do you take to keep your family safe around water? #abcsofwatersafety

We're ready for the weekend! This would be the perfect weekend to make sure that your pool is in good condition and that your #layersofprotection are in place.

Active adult supervision is one of the #abcsofwatersafety. Use a water watcher, and if a child is missing--check the water first!

With swimming season beginning, don't forget to put multiple #layersofprotection between kids and the water. Visit nrhws365.com for more info!

#SpringBreak time is here, and that means plenty of warm weather getaways. But while you're having fun, don't forget to #PoolSafely when you get in the water.

Captain Paxton teaches kids to stay safe around water. Please follow the #abcsofwatersafety and put multiple #layersofprotection in place between kids and water. Drowning happens just. like. that. #paxtontheworldchanger

Put barriers in place between kids and water! A keyless latch out of kids' reach on doors that lead to water can prevent access, and alarms on doors and windows can alert you before tiny toes get wet. #layersofprotection

Getting ready for back to school? Have kids read our color and learn storybook about water safety! nrhtx.com/DocumentCenter…

Never without a grownup! Teach your kids to make sure you're there. #notonemore #preventdrowning

Most fatal drownings in natural water are non-boating related. While it’s important to wear a life vest in the boat, wearing one in and around the water is even more important. #lifeguardyourchild

No one step will prevent drowning. Put as many #layersofprotection between kids and water as you can!

Accidents happen too quickly to reach for a stowed life jacket. #safeboating #wearit #lifejacketsSAVElives #fridaymemes

Life jackets on lakes are like seatbelts in cars--everyone needs to wear one. If you're swimming at the lake today, #justwearit!

Most home pool drownings happen between the hours of 2-8PM when everybody thinks someone else is watching the water. Use a #waterwatcher today and take steps to make sure kids don't go back into the water when swim time is over. #lifeguardyourchild

Look at the drains before you swim. If drain covers are missing or broken, or if you can't see the bottom of the pool--it's not safe to swim! #abcsofwatersafety
