Play is Safe Around Water

Each year, more than 7,000 drowning deaths occur in the United States . By playing it safe around water, you can reduce your risk of water accidents. Always swim with a buddy.
Know your swimming limits and stay within them. Swim in supervised areas only. Obey "No Diving" signs. Alcohol and swimming or boating do not mix. Use common sense when you are around water.

Health Statistic: In 2006, there were 46 drowning deaths in Minnesota; 19 in lakes, 15 in rivers, 5 in pools, 4 in ponds or gravel pits, & 3 in a bath or hot tub. (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources)
