This week, mom-to-be Kourtney Kardashian and her family are still vacationing and showing off photos of their fabulous adventures with their fans and followers in social media.

But please, don’t learn boating safety from your favorite celebrity.

We noticed yesterday, the pregnant E! reality TV star shared a photo of herself with her beau Scott Disick and sister Khloe Kardashian pushing off shore in a sailboat but none of them were wearing life jackets. 

While the pic may have been staged and the mom of two could have slipped on the safety jacket after the photo, but the message to the millions of impressionable people who follow and try to copy their every move has already been set.

It reminded us to reshare our post from May about National Drowning Month  with tips we got from the  US Swim School Association.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. On average, 3,533 people die as a result of drowning each year, and most of those deaths are children under the age of four who drown in backyard swimming pools. The tragedy of these statistics is nearly all drowning deaths are preventable.

Once again, learn some of the standard things parents should do: 

1. keep their children under their supervision constantly;
2. enroll them in swimming classes;
3. know CPR;’ and 
4. install pool fences and barriers. 

In addition to these vital steps, USSSA has created a list of tips parents can use to build extra layers of protection for their children around water.
