11. Demonstrate water safety by:

a. How to call for help in case of an emergency.

How you call for help depends on who needs help, and where you are when help is required.

• If you are calling for help for someone else and have access to a telephone, dial 911 or the appropriate emergency number in your area.
• If you are calling for help for someone else and you are in the water too, yell "Help!" as loud as you can. If there is a lifeguard present, go to him or her as quickly as you can and tell them someone is in trouble.
• If you yourself need help while in the water, call out for it and wave your arms.
• Some lifejackets have a whistle which is an excellent way to signal distress.
