12th annual summer splash stresses safety, swimming lessons for kids

Miami, Florida – Warmer South Florida temperatures mean more days for cooling off in the water and that comes with some risks.

Especially when it comes to children, officials are urging water safety.

On Saturday, Miami-Dade Parks and the Niklaus Children’s hospital held their 12th Annual Summer Safety Splash in Miami.

The event provided parents and children with resources on swimming lessons, rescue and water safety demonstrations, poison prevention, and much more.
