To all the dads out there, Happy Father's Day!💙

Set a good example for your kids and grandkids by always wearing your life jacket. 🦺

Because 🌊

Please Wear It

🤔🌊 Think twice before swimming in open water.

Swimming in lakes, rivers, and other open-water environments is often more difficult than swimming in a pool.

⚠️ You can become exhausted quickly due to:
🌊 Waves
💨 Currents
🏊 Lack of experience
📈 Overestimating your abilities

Even strong swimmers can drown, so Please Wear It 🦺

06/15/2026

⚠️🌊 Drowning doesn’t look like it does in the movies.

It can happen in as little as 30 seconds for children and 60 seconds for many adults, often silently—even close to shore.

👀 Around 40% of drownings are witnessed. Most of the time, others may be nearby but don’t realize someone is in trouble.

Learn the 4 signs of drowning:
🔹 Head back
🔹 Mouth open
🔹 Not yelling or calling for help
🔹 Arms slapping the water surface (not waving around)

🦺 Most importantly, always wear a life jacket to avoid an accident becoming a tragedy.

Please Wear It

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐶 Water safety is for everyone—human babies and fur babies alike!

🦺 Make sure your entire family is wearing a life jacket every time you’re in, on, or near open water to help ensure your visit is a great one. 🌊☀️

Please Wear It

💙🌊 To honor Andy, please wear a life jacket when boating to increase your chances of surviving carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

🛥️ Boaters should:
✅ Use a marine CO detector
✅ Seat children in the forward-most seating on a boat
✅ Avoid idling and exposure to emissions from other boats
✅ Always maintain fresh air circulation

🦺💙

😎🌊 You know what isn’t cool? Drowning.

USACE data shows 88% of drowning victims are male, meaning men are about 7 times more likely to drown than women.

👨‍🦱🦺 Gentlemen, if you want to impress someone, start by buckling that life jacket.

🚤🦺 A life jacket can’t save your life if it’s floating on top of the water and you’re sinking to the bottom.

Having a life jacket on your boat, even if it’s “readily accessible,” is not good enough. 🛟

Please Wear It so you can enjoy boating another day. ☀️🌊
