"In this film a group of people sit down and watch a movie on water safety. Different methods of floating are shown, and water survival is demonstrated. As water rescue methods are portrayed, the narrator discusses the importance of remaining at a distance from the panicking person. The proper fitting of skin diving equipment is shown, and then a dramatic sequence of a water rescue is enacted. The movie finishes with the narrator admonishing the viewer, 'Tomorrow may be your turn. Make sure you're ready.'"
Library and Archives Canada: 16mm.

"A demonstration of the rules for safety in the water, for both swimmers and non-swimmers. The film shows easy ways of staying afloat, how to rescue someone in difficulty, and what to avoid in the way of swimming masks or flippers."
"La sécurité aquatique est une question de prudence, d'entraînement et de bon sens... Tel est le thème de ce film en couleurs, présenté en des termes à la portée de tous et qui traite des éléments de base de la natation et du sauvetage. On y insiste particulièrement sur l'importance de demeurer calme et d'apprendre chaque chose en temps opportun."
