The Holland High School girls swim team is being called one of the best in West Michigan.  Maranda caught up with the team at the Holland Aquatic Center during one of their practices.

Spreading the Safe Water Message

All summer long WOOD TV 8 has been promoting the message of Safe Water.  The Holland Aquatic Center partnered with us and worked with kids and families at our Park Parties to spread the word about playing it safe near the water.

Holland Aquatics Water Safety Event

Children ages 1-4 are more likely to die from drowning than any other cause of death.  It’s so important that we keep our kids safe in the water.  WOOD TV and Maranda teamed up with the Holland Aquatic Center to educate families on what they need to know around water this summer.

Toddler Swim Lessons

When you’re around as much water as we are in West Michigan, it’s so important to start your child in swim lessons at a young age.

Three Key Water Safety Words

The Safe Kids Program at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital has come up with three key words to remember when it comes to water safety.

CPR Basics from the Red Cross

It is so important that parents are training in CPR in case of an emergency.  Our friends from the American Red Cross have some pointers.

Watching out for Rip Currents

When the weather is hot, families love to head to the beach to cool off.  But, if the flag isn’t green, than there are some important things to look out for, including rip currents.

Survival Swimming Skills

One of the demonstrations at our Holland Aquatic Water Safety event was teaching kids survival swimming skills.
