We know a lot of people will be heading to local parks this weekend to enjoy the weather and the unofficial start of summer. We want you to stay safe and have fun! 💧 Swimming in natural bodies of water, like lakes and rivers, is not the same as swimming in a pool. 💧 Local rivers and lakes are still cold enough to cause your body to involuntarily gasp and inhale water, or lose muscle control. 💧 Rivers, even if they look calm, have powerful currents. 💧 Drop-offs can be steep, sudden, and hidden. 💧 Other dangers may be hidden under the water. Stay safe by: 💦 Knowing your limits - drowning often occurs when swimmers get tired 💦 Wear a life jacket when swimming or boating in lakes and rivers, which can overpower even the strongest swimmers 💦 Don't swim alone 💦 Avoid fast-flowing waters, including rivers that may appear calm 💦 Don't dive off cliffs or bridges Stay safe, and stay cool.
