As summer swimming season gets underway, the Clinton County EMS is encouraging parents and caregivers to consider swimsuit color as an added layer of water safety for children.
In a recent swim safety reminder, EMS officials noted that brightly colored swimsuits can make it easier for parents, lifeguards and caregivers to quickly spot a child in the water. Increased visibility can be especially important at pools, lakes and beaches where water conditions and crowded environments can make it more difficult to keep track of swimmers.
While choosing a highly visible swimsuit can help improve safety, Clinton County EMS emphasized that active supervision remains the most important tool for preventing water-related accidents.
