Summertime in Arizona means keeping cool in the water. Here is a message from our partners at Arizona State Parks regarding water safety.

We want this summer to be fun, memorable and refreshing. Make sure your life jackets are a part of your check list.

Life jackets save lives! 🌊🛟
Common sense? Sadly, 87% of drowning victims in recreational boating accidents were not wearing a life jacket, according to the latest U.S. Coast Guard statistics (2023). A life jacket is the most important piece of safety gear you can wear, whether on a boat, personal watercraft, or paddlecraft.

Keep your fun day on the water FUN by putting safety first. 😎 Get more boating safety information this National Week at azstateparks.com/boating-safety.
