Before you get in the water, could you remind me what are the rules of water safety?
Water safety? It is just swimming.
Yeah what's the big deal!?
Libisema: 3
Being safe in or even around water is the most important thing! If we are not careful someone could get hurt!
Oh I wouldn't want to get hurt. Could you teach us?
I wouldn't want to get hurt either, or worse hurt others.

Rule #1: When on the pool deck, always walk and NEVER run. Running on the pool deck could result in slipping and hurting yourself
From now on I will make sure to be extra careful and always walk.
Same here, I wouldn't want to hurt myself
Libisema: 5
Rule #2: Absolutely no roughhousing in or out the water. Roughhousing has been the main cause of many accidents in the past.
Got it.
Okay!
Libisema: 6
Rule #3: Never swim alone. Kids like you two should only swim with parental super vison or a lifeguard on standby incase you need help.
I wouldn't want to be stuck out in the water with no help.
Yeah you're right!

Rule #4. If you are a child or not a great swimmer, you should always wear a life jacket at all times. They will keep you afloat in case of an emergency!
I don't think I am the best swimmer so I should I'll try this on
I'll wear a lifejacket too to stay safe!

Now that you kids know the 4 rules of water safety, go out there and have fun!
Yay!!!
Now I can have fun AND be safe!

I made this storyboard to argue and also show why water safety is very important and should be taken very seriously.
I once had a friend in the past almost pass away from drowning. Back then we did not know the importance of water safety and I would not want another kid to go through a scare like that again
