| Home Pool/Water Safety Checks | Families frequenting pools should keep important safety facts in mind. Children can drown in only one inch of water.

In 2006, Lee County experienced more than 30 near-drownings in a four-week period. Drowning is often called “the silent killer,” with little or no sound for help. | Provided with swim Lee during August & September. Call 239-267-7525. |
