Spring Valley Village Police

As pools begin opening for the summer, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant around the water. Drowning can happen quickly and silently, often without splashing or yelling for help.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to keep children within arm’s reach, avoid distractions, and never assume someone else is watching the kids. Strong swimmers should still be supervised at all times.

A few seconds of attention can save a life. Stay safe and have a great summer.
