Free Water Watcher Bracelets at the Health Officer

Summer Safety includes swimming which means diligent monitoring of children near these swimming areas. Children can drown in seconds in very small amounts of water. An adult should be the designated water watcher who promises to watch children in or around the water. The Health Department has free Water Watcher Badges on a bracelet that signifies and reminds adults about who is on guard duty for their children at their swimming pool. Come to the health department or the library in the municipal building for a free badge.
