Our Water Plan

Make your plan with a grown-up

Fill this in together, then print it for the fridge. A plan everyone knows keeps the whole family safe.

Our water rules

  • 🛟 Ask a grown-up before I go near water.
  • 🛟 Reach or throw — I never go in to help.
  • 🛟 A Water Watcher watches the whole time — no phone.
  • 🛟 I wear a life jacket that fits snug on a boat or in open water.
  • 🛟 When I feel tired, I get out and rest.
  • 🛟 A whistle means stop and listen.

Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere — it stays on this screen until you print it.

Practise at home: the reach drill

Two minutes on the living-room floor, with a grown-up. A cushion is the “pool”.

  1. First, shout “Help!” as loud as you can, so a grown-up comes.
  2. Lie down on your tummy at the edge of the cushion, so it’s harder to be pulled in.
  3. Hold out a towel or a pool noodle — never your hand.
  4. Your grown-up grabs the end. Say “Grab on!”
  5. Pull slowly back toward you, staying flat on your tummy.
  6. Swap: now you hold on, and your grown-up does the reach.

🛟 Water Watcher card

Print this and cut it out. Whoever holds the card is the Water Watcher. When they need a break, they hand the card to another grown-up — face to face, so someone is always watching.

I am the Water Watcher

  • I watch the water the whole time.
  • No phone, no book, no chatting.
  • I stay close enough to reach.
  • Before I leave, I hand this card to the next grown-up.
