DALLAS — Summer 2023 has officially arrived! And with the rising heat, comes a little fun under the sun. As many North Texas take their pick of waterparks, public/private pools or lakes, it's a good reminder to stay safe.
According to the Department of Family and Protective Services, 76 Texas children drowned in 2022 – including one in a bucket.
This year, so far, 29 children have drowned, including two in Collin County, two in Tarrant County and one in Ellis County.
Here are some water safety tips to keep you and your children safe.
Swimming lessons are also more than just training, but a way of learning about proper swim clothes and practicing self-rescue when falling in.
