FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH IN LAKE COUNTY PROMOTES “WATERPROOF FLORIDA” A FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH INJURY PREVENTION INITIATIVE

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, a Florida Department of Health Injury Prevention Initiative encourages layers of protection that include supervision, barriers and emergency preparedness.

“Water safety is everyone’s responsibility and education is the key to prevention. As a community we need to continue working together to spread the message" said Aaron Kissler, Administrator Florida Department of Health in Lake County.
In Lake County, swimming lessons are being offered by the following groups:
