We want to remind you not to swim in open water even if the water looks calm.

Shallow water can feel warmer at the edge of reservoirs, rivers, and lakes. Never jump into open water where deeper water is much colder even in hot weather.

Cold water shock can kill in 60 seconds.

@Millers1964 Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This will be passed on to our housing teams for investigation.
