If someone falls into the water, they can&#8217;t swim for very long and they sometimes choke on the cold water when it hits their face. The only way to be as safe as possible, even if you think you are a good swimmer, is to wear your life jacket. Having it with you in the boat is not good enough. We always wear our seatbelt to be as safe as possible, even though we don&#8217;t plan to get in a car crash. Seatbelts and life jackets don&#8217;t make us perfectly safe, but they make us a lot safer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most drownings that happen are because people don&#8217;t wear life jackets. Please enjoy the water as safely as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Today, Friday, May 17th\u00a0is \u201cwear your life jacket to work\u201d day.
