Wear Your Life Jacket!

Life jackets are the best insurance you can have if you're on or around the water --- though unfortunately

many of us don't take them seriously enough. The fact is, simply wearing a jacket can save swimmers as well

as non-swimmers who are suddenly in the water and may be unconsious, fatigued, in shock, inebriated,

surprised, panicked --- or all of the above. Be sure you have the proper type of life jacket and wear it: once

you're in the water it may be too late to think about putting it on.

REMEMBER:

Your life jacket is a life saver --- but only if you wear it.
