No matter if you are out having a day on the beach or doing my favorite -FISHING- remember to always be safe around water. According to the International Life Saving Federation- scientific evidence reveals that more than two persons per minute die due to drowning. From that more than 50 percent are children. 1.2 million people around the world die by drowning every year. Just because a person can swim does not mean that they will not drown. Strong currents, large waves, becoming disoriented, cramps, these are just a few of the unforeseen events that can occur once someone falls into the water. I suggest no matter your swimming ability, if you are on a boat or near deep water put a Life Jacket on. Like a seat belt, Life Jackets can save lives. Make wearing a Life Jacket a regular routine. Nowadays, we put our seat belts on as soon as we get in a vehicle, use the same routine with Life Jackets. There are three age groups that possess higher risk factors for drowning, they are:- 0 to 5 years old
- 20 to 25 years old
- over 60 years old
In summary, please be safe around water, if children are fishing, swimming or doing any type of activity around water without lifeguards present -please put them in a Life Jacket. Remember also just because you are a "good" swimmer does not mean you will not drown.
