🌊☀️ Water Safety Starts with You ☀️🌊

Summer in Wisconsin means time on the water—whether you're boating, fishing, kayaking, or swimming. Before you head out, take a few simple steps to keep yourself and your loved ones safe:

✅ Wear a properly fitted life jacket

✅ Never swim alone

✅ Closely supervise children near water

✅ Check the weather before heading out

✅ Avoid alcohol while boating or swimming

✅ Let someone know your plans

If someone is in distress, remember: Reach or Throw — Don't Go. Use a flotation device or a long object to assist from a safe location and call 911 immediately. Attempting a rescue without proper training can put everyone at risk.

A few simple precautions can prevent tragedy and help everyone enjoy a safe, fun, and memorable summer on Wisconsin's lakes, rivers, and streams.
