Spotlight on Water Safety
 By Vickie Kourtelis,
Aquatics Director
May is Water Safety Month.
The Rye Y Aquatics Department is dedicated to making sure that all children learn to swim and learn water safety skills that prevent injury or drowning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fatal drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages one to 14 years old.
No matter what age or swim ability, children need continuous supervision around the water. Young children can drown in less than two inches of water - so it is very important that caregivers keep a close eye on them while they are swimming! The smallest distraction is all it takes for a child to become part of a horrible statistic. All too many times we hear stories beginning with, "I was only gone for a minute..."or, "I received a quick phone call and a few seconds later..." With the summer season around the corner, we would like to share some helpful tips to make sure that you and your family enjoy the summer and practice safe summer fun! Click here to read
