American Red Cross - Cornhusker Regional Chapter

Summer Water Safety

The Red Cross has always been there for you and your family during times of disaster and emergency. But the Red Cross can also prepare your family to be ready for all types of emergencies, including a water emergency.

As we head into summer, it's important to be safe in, on and around the water. Swimmers of all ages and abilities can develop their swimming and water safety skills through the Red Cross. For more information on swimming classes, click here.
