While enjoying some fun in the sun please wear a life jacket when in, on, or near the water. Also, wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect you from the sun. @PleaseWearIt
If you fall into cold water, stay calm and focus on catching your breath within the first minute. You have about 10 minutes of effective movement for self-rescue. Hypothermia typically sets in after around 1 hour.
Did you know that after you’ve fallen into cold water, that’s 70°F (21°C) or less, it’s nearly impossible to put on a life jacket, or even hold onto one?
When out enjoying your favorite waterway this winter, be prepared for what might happen. Wear a properly fitted life jacket, dress in layers for the water temperature (not the air temperature), and take extra clothing in case what you are wearing gets wet. @PleaseWearIt

Today, May 16, 2025, is Wear Your Life Jacket at Work Day! Take a picture of you wearing yours at work, tag @boating campaign, and share it using hashtag #wearyourlifejacketatworkday to promote how comfortable life jackets are to wear.
May is National Water Safety Month so remember to play it safe whenever you’re in, on, or near open water (i.e. lakes, rivers, ponds etc.) and please wear your life jacket. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns
