No matter if you plan to spend your summer by the beach, lake or pool, here’s a quick guide to water safety for kids As summer inches closer, you can almost hear your local watering hole calling your family’s name (on top of your little ones’ pleas for a refreshing dip!).

In an interview published late last month in the business section of this paper, Gabriela Sandoval suggested as much.
