Fairview Pool in southside Swift Current is taking the initiative and reaching out to the community to provide water safety tips during national drowning prevention week. 

The pool is hosting a water safety seminar every day of the week in an attempt to help people keep safe, and above all, save lives.

The seminars will focus on a wide range of safety categories, featuring a new one each day to try and fully inform people on water safety.

The event is hosted by local lifeguards like Jesse Begin, a lifegaurd at the pool, who are passionate about water safety.

He said, "So every afternoon here during family public swim at Fairview we have an activity relating to things like life jackets and boat safety, and anyone that participates will receive a free jumbo freezie."

Begin also spoke on the importance of parents teaching their kids to children to swim, saying that they also have swimming lessons for children as young as preeschool age, as well as adult lessons.
