Bring in your old worn out life jacket and exchange it for a brand new US Coast Guard Approved life jacket- for FREE! In addition to our life jacket exchange we are also offering free vessel safety checks. What a great opportunity to insure your water safety with a free life jacket and vessel safety information. Arizona Division 10 Vice Division Commander Jack Pauly points out that 88% percent of open water related deaths are due to the victim not wearing a life vest. Come on Tempe, let's wear it and be safe!
