Swimming can be a fun and healthy activity, but it’s important to follow safety rules to ensure a safe experience.

What are Safety Rules?

Safety rules are guidelines that help us stay safe while swimming. They are designed to prevent accidents and ensure everyone enjoys their time in the water.

Some of the important safety rules in swimming include:

• Always swim with adult supervision. This is crucial, especially for young children and inexperienced swimmers.
• No running around the pool area. Running can lead to slips, falls, and injuries.
