A reminder to swim safely this summer

The Pelican Centre is committed to water safety education that keeps you safe in the water, both indoors and outdoors.

We know how tempting a dip outdoors might be, but everyone in our community – including children, teens and parents – should be aware of the dangers of swimming in unsupervised open water, and know how to avoid preventable injuries and deaths.
