Play it SUPERHERO safe around water.

Summertime at Lake Tahoe ramps up the fun! Consider these reminders when kids are looking to make a splash:

  • Watch them like a hawk.
    Pay close attention when kids are in or near water.
  • Take precautions near the lake & pools.
    Remember, it takes only minutes for kids to wander away into danger.
  • Issue life jackets. 
    These are especially important for the lake, but consider having young or inexperienced swimmers use them in swimming pools too.
  • Always know where they’re going.
    Remind kiddos to ask before going near water.
