Water Safety Tips for Recreating Outdoors

Our community has many options for open water outdoor recreation. Swimming in a natural environment is different from swimming in a pool, with risks including currents, waves, and underwater obstructions. Waters in our area are also cold, always watch for signs of hyperthermia.

  • Designate one person in your group to be on active watch of swimmers in the water at all times. Accidents can happen quickly.
  • Always enter unknown or shallow water feet first.
  • It is important everyone to learn how to swim to have skills of water competency: able to enter the water, get a breath, stay afloat, change position, swim a distance then get out of the water safely.
  • Employ layers of protection including barriers to prevent access to water, life jackets, and close supervision of children to prevent drowning.
  • Know what to do in a water emergency - including how to help someone in trouble in the water safely, call for emergency help and CPR.
