Water Safety

Don't forget to be SAFE around water!
NEVER play in ditches or streambeds.
Even if it seems safe, flash flooding can happen in an instant and sweep even a grownup away.

Always use a life jacket or other approved personal flotation device when riding in a boat or on a jet ski.

Inflatable toys or air mattresses are NOT safe substitutes for a life jacket.
