Water safety reminders to keep in mind when you seek to beat the heat:

KNOW THE WATER

Do not enter cold, fast-running water. It can be dangerous not only to you but also for first responders.

Many unseen obstacles can be lurking below the water’s surface – this is especially the case when high runoff follows low water years. Drought-stricken forests and storm-driven landslides can fill rivers with submerged trees and rocks. Swift water can make these obstacles even more treacherous.

Sudden immersion in cold water can stimulate the “gasp reflex,” causing an involuntary inhalation of air or water and can start the drowning process immediately. It can even trigger cardiac arrest, temporary paralysis, hypothermia and drowning.

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

When faced with cold, swift water, even the strongest swimmers may be easily overwhelmed.

Swimming in open water is more difficult than in a swimming pool – people tire more quickly and can get into trouble.

Never go on the water alone.

KNOW ABOUT LIFE JACKETS

Although life jackets are strongly recommended when recreating in or near waterways, high runoff in rivers can be dangerous even with the use of life jackets.

Conditions change quickly in open water and even the best swimmers can misjudge the water and their skills when boating or swimming. Wearing a properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket can increase survival time.

Learn more about life jackets at www.BoatCalifornia.com.

KNOW HOW TO SUPERVISE

Actively supervise children in and around open bodies of water, giving them your undivided attention. Do not assume that someone is watching them. Appoint a designated “water watcher,” taking turns with other adults.

Teach children that swimming in open water is not the same as swimming in a pool – they need to be aware of uneven surfaces, river currents, and changing weather.
