⛔As beautiful as it looks, swimming or boating isn't safe or permitted in any of the water in our country parks.
💧However you end up in the water elsewhere this summer, knowing how to float could save your life.
Cold water shock can affect anyone – no matter how strong a swimmer you are.
If you get into trouble, remember Float to Live.
