Little Otter hosted a Safety Day to teach children many safety tips and techniques. In support of Safer 3’s promotion of water safety as a part of its campaign to prevent drowning deaths through education, Little Otter had instructors working with children to learn the Jump, Turn and Grab technique for reaching safety if they become fearful in the water.
One of the children’s favorite activity is jumping in the pool fully clothed. Being in the water fully clothed is much different than when wearing swimsuits so practicing this provides kids with the opportunity to see how this feels and to learn that they can swim and make their way to safety – even of they aren’t in their typical swim attire! And it’s fun for the kids since they’re never allowed to jump in fully clothed otherwise!
