Tips on how to remain safe in water Indoor and Outdoor!

• Clarity is safety: Never operate a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol; impairment will affect a person’s motor ability, judgment, and reaction time. Doing so is punishable under the Criminal Code.

• Check the weather: Always check the weather forecasts and reports before going on or in the water. Changing weather conditions can be extremely dangerous while on the water. Make sure you continue to monitor weather conditions for the duration of your water activity.

• Share your plans: Know the area you will be in and share your itinerary with someone so that if there is an emergency you can be located quickly.

• Dress to protect: Boaters, tubers, and swimmers should wear lifejackets or personal floatation devices (PFD) when on the water. Tubers should wear a helmet. Wearing a life jacket or PFD is the best defense for surviving cold-water shock and hypothermia. Dress appropriately for cool weather and extreme sun which can cause fatigue and disorientation.

• Prepare your boat: Before heading out on the water, boaters should make sure their oat is equipped with mandatory boat safety equipment such as life jackets, signaling devices, and bailing containers. Always bring emergency supplies like extra food, water, clothes, and a cell phone.

• Know your limits: Be self-aware and don’t push your physical limits when playing or engaging in water. Many drowning instances that have occurred over the years are a result of swimmer fatigue and being too far from shore. If you cannot swim, stay out of the water and seek the shade instead.

By practicing safe boating and swimming, Albertans can help reduce the number of fatalities caused by drowning in the summer.

You should always apply sunscreen approximately 30 minutes before being in the sun (for best results) so that it can be absorbed by the skin and less likely to wash off when you perspire. Remember to reapply sunscreen after swimming or strenuous exercise. Apply sunscreen often throughout the day if you work outdoors, and wear hats and protective clothing.
