I’M A LITTLE ROBOT BOAT WITH A BIG HEART!!!

MY NAME IS SPLASH!
I LOVE KIDS AND I LOVE TEACHING THEM HOW TO BE SAFE AROUND THE WATER!

And kids love me, too!! I make lots of new Water Safety Buddies every year at boat shows, schools, churches, day care centers, and special events - anywhere there are kids and families. I was launched by the Lake Wylie Marine Commission to help kids learn to SPLASH INTO WATER SAFETY!

I have lots of helpers who teach kids about water safety, too, and who teach grown-ups about safe boating. We all work together to keep kids and families safe and having fun on Lake Wylie! Kids can be safe around water by following simple rules!

• Always wear a life jacket!
• Always swim with a buddy!
• Always make sure a grown-up is watching you!
• Always buckle-up in your boat – just like in your car!
