Reach or Throw, Don't Go!

A Rhyming Story About Water Safety

Water safetyAges 4–8

"Reach or throw, don’t go!"

Rio loves water – the splash, the spray, and a pool on a hot day. With Dad as the Water Watcher and help from Lifeguards Omar and Jo, Rio learns the water rules: ask a grown-up first, walk on the pool deck, go in feet first, wear a life jacket that fits, and swim between the flags. And if a friend needs help? Stay on dry land – reach or throw, don’t go!
