π WATER SAFETY WEDNESDAY π
MYTH: Most People believe they don't need a life jacket "if they are close to shore" or "because they can swim" and that "they can put a life jacket on in the water" if they need it.
FACT: In 80% of drownings, a life jacket was not worn. Research shows that in cold water, the risk of drowning increases by 500%, and many of those drownings will occur within 6 feet (2 meters) of safety.
Be safe - wear a life jacket.
