EYES SAVE LIVES!
Did you know 88% of child drownings occur with at least one adult present? As we celebrate the the unofficial start of summer this Memorial Day weekend, take the "Phones Down, Eyes Up" pledge to put your phone away when near pools, lakes and beaches this summer and always assign a water watcher who is undistracted by phones, conversations, reading or alcohol. Eyes save lives!
