FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH REMINDS ALL RESIDENTS TO ENJOY POOLS SAFELY THIS SUMMER

~ Learn how to keep your family safe in the water ~

Gadsden-The weather is heating up and for many Floridians this means it's time to cool off in the pool. While a day of playing in the pool can be fun, injuries and illnesses due to water-related activities increase during this time of year.

Waterproof Florida encourages layers of protection that include supervision, barriers and emergency preparedness. You can learn about the layers on theWaterproofFL website.
