Wear your life jacket
Whether you’re a novice swimmer or a strong swimmer, out on a boat or swimming at a beach, the best way to stay safe in the water is to wear a properly fitted life jacket. It’ll keep you afloat if something unexpected happens and is the best way to prevent an unfortunate incident from turning tragic.
