Please wear a life jacket while swimming in open water. Swimming in open water is more difficult than swimming in a pool due to waves, current, lack of experience, or your abilities have decreased. Know your limits and wear a life jacket to help ensure you return to shore safely.

Wearing a life jacket whenever you’re hunting, fishing, boating, swimming, or playing in open water (lakes, rivers etc.) helps ensure that you can keep on living the good life enjoying the water. @PleaseWearIt

While enjoying being out on the water watching wildlife, please remember to play it safe and wear a properly-fitted life jacket and encourage others to wear theirs too. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns

Whitewater paddling is an exciting activity, but it requires proper training so you will know what to expect. Play it safe and wear protective equipment including a life jacket, helmet, and appropriate footwear and clothing to keep you dry. @PleaseWearIt
