Water Safety

Summer is the time to relax by the water. To enjoy the season fully, remember these essential safety rules.

Water safety

Basic Water Safety Rules:

  1. Swim only in supervised areas with lifeguards present. Avoid unsupervised or natural bodies of water with potentially dangerous conditions.
  2. Know your abilities—don’t overestimate your swimming skills. Stay near the shore if unsure, and always wear a life jacket.
  3. Check weather conditions before entering the water. Storms, strong winds, and high waves pose serious risks.
  4. Never enter the water after consuming alcohol, as it impairs motor skills and judgment.
  5. Use flotation devices if you are not a confident swimmer; they can save lives.
