It’s almost the weekend and we’re loving these blue skies and moderate temps! 🔆

Will you be joining us at the reservoir this Labor Day Weekend?

Before you head out, here are a few quick water safety tips to keep in mind:
• Always wear a properly fitted life jacket
• Keep an eye on children and new swimmers at all times
• Stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade
• Always swim with a buddy - even strong swimmers can face unexpected currents or fatigue

Forgot your life jacket? No problem - both of our reservoirs have Life Jacket Loaner Stations available. They’re free and easy to use — borrow one for swimming or peace of mind, and return it when you leave.

Find more information and a map of our loaner stations on our website:
