Teach kids more than just swimming—help them master these 5 essential water survival skills: jump in safely, float or tread water, find the exit, swim to safety, and get out independently. Every skill can help save a life. 💦🛟

Life jackets save lives. Choose the right fit based on weight, make sure straps are snug, and always keep an eye on little swimmers. Whether you’re at the beach, lake, or pool, a properly fitted life jacket can make all the difference. #SpringBreakSafety #WaterSafety

We also had a group of @GSAthletics_FB and @AppState_FB student-athletes head to @ChildrensAL for our COA Team Visits, presented by @BCBSofAlabama. It was such a special afternoon full of fun games and fellowship with the kiddos, and we are already looking forward to being back!
