As families prepare for warm weather and outdoor activities, it's crucial to prioritize supervision and drowning prevention. The tips shared by Drew Bivona, founder of Bivona Law, serve as a timely reminder for local parents and caregivers to take proactive steps to ensure kids' safety around water.
