The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. Always swim with a buddy; never swim alone. The American Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability. To enroll in a swim course, contact your local Red Cross chapter. Swim in supervised areas only. Obey all rules and posted signs. Watch out for the "dangerous too's"too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun, too much strenuous activity. Don’t mix alcohol and swimming. Alcohol impairs your judgement, balance, and coordination, affects your swimming and diving skills, and reduces your body's ability to stay warm. Pay attention to local weather conditions and forecasts. Stop swimming at the first indication of bad weather. Know how to prevent, recognize, and respond to emergencies.

9. Water Safety Q&A - Fact Vs. Fiction - The World’s Most Compact Life Vest And Li Over 140 000 people drown each year. Why? Because boaters rarely wear hot, bulky life vests and swimmers have no safety device at all. Now for the first time theres a high quality life water sport must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Secure Ordering The Amazing New Safety Inflator The Swimmer's Safety Belt The following quiz underscores popular misconceptions about Coast Guard approval, approved PFDs, and drownings. Question 1 Most drownings take place in stormy weather, far from shore. Question 2 More boaters than swimmers drown each year. Question 3 Most swimmers saved by lifeguards are weak or non-swimmers who stray into deep water. Question 4 An $80 Type III foam life vest offers much more safety and quality than a $20 Type III foam life vest. Question 5 Only U.S. Coast Guard approved PFDs can be used on boats. Question 6 It’s almost impossible to drown while wearing a Type III foam vest—and a Type III foam vest will definitely keep your head out of the water while you’re unconscious. Question 7 Any PFD used on beaches for swimming or for any water sport must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Question 8 The Swimmer's Safety Belt is just like the fannypack life vests I've seen around for years.

Chapter 6: Enjoying Water Sports with Your Boat Windsurfing Another growing water sport is windsurfing (or sailboarding). Almost anyone can learn this sport with proper lessons from a qualified instructor with the appropriate beginner’s equipment. And, like everything else we do on and in the water, precautions must be taken to avoid injury. Windsurfers should dress appropriately: Wear a PFD (life jacket). Consider a wetsuit to avoid hypothermia if water or air temperatures are below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. Give him or her instructions on what to do or who to call in case you are overdue. Windsurfers should not become overly fatigued: Take breaks often, and limit sessions to about an hour.

Print the kit Water Sports - Handling and safety with non-powered craft Fresh and salt waterways offer us the thrill of water sports in a variety of craft. It might be the power of the wind in the sails or the strength at the oars that creates the excitement. The challenge may be for a team or a lone competitor to test their skills. Whichever water sport you choose your success depends on staying safe and on the way in which you handle your craft. As a beginner it is wise to join a club or seek proper training to help you learn how to handle your craft properly so you can enjoy your new interest in water sport and improve your safety when afloat. As a user of the waterways you have a safety responsibility, so before you first set out you should also have knowledge of the important Rules of the Road at Sea When setting out it is important to know what to expect for weather, the condition and capabilities of your craft and recognise the limits of your own strength. Sailing or rowing can require a great deal of physical effort. It is important to remember that, as a beginner competitor, you may have limited control over your vessel. When rowing the rowing team need to recognise the strength of each member and travel as fast as the slowest rower, keeping a steady pace. To avoid dangerous waters and the chance of accidents rowing or paddling sports should never be organised in, during or after heavy rains or flooding.

Site Map MetLife Boat Safety Tips Safety Tips for Water-skiing Water-skiing is an exciting and challenging sport. However, like all "fast-action" sports that are fun, it does possess an element of risk. Many skiers and boaters are not aware of the potential hazards of water-skiing and as a result, are hurt or even killed pursuing this recreational sport. Attention to hazards in the area where you are skiing is especially critical due to the ever growing number of boats out on the water. The Ski Area The size of the water area in which you intend to ski determines the number of boats and skiers that can operate within it at the same time. Each boat should be able to maintain a 200 foot wide "ski corridor" (100 feet on either side of the boat). The entire "skiing course" should be at least 2,000 - 3,000 feet long to avoid constant turning and risky maneuvering. A minimum depth of five to six feet of obstacle-free water is suggested for safe skiing to: Keep the skis from dragging bottom during starts.

17. The Physician And Sportsmedicine: News Briefs safety guidelines for water tubing equipment might make the sport safer,Letts says, but there are currently no equipment standards. http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1997/07jul/news.htm

THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 25 - NO. 7 - JULY 97 Water tubing stirs safety concerns Water Tubing Safety Tips Boat drivers should know the shoreline, shallow areas, and obstructions in a lake where an inner tube is being pulled. Two people should always be in the boat when pulling a water tuber: the driver and a spotter who regulates the rope length from boat to inner tube. Before water tubing, inspect the rope for fraying and the inner tube for defects. Water tube riders should always wear a life jacket. W ater tubing may seem like an easy, fun way to keep kids active on the waterfront, especially when they don't know how to water-ski. But a look at the injury statistics reveals that the sport poses some risks. Water tubing is similar to waterskiing, except that the participant rides a rubber inner tube instead of a pair of skis. After seeing a number of water tubing injuries, orthopedic surgeons from Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa analyzed 6 years' worth of medical records from the hospital's pediatric trauma center. Eight children (ranging from 10 to 17 years) had been admitted to the hospital for water tubing injuries. The patients' cases (1) were reported in a poster presentation in February at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery in San Francisco. Merv Letts, MD, the lead author of the study and chair of the Department of Surgery at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, says that most water tubing injuries occur when water tube riders come too close to shore. When turning, a boat driver may misjudge the path of the tube, allowing it to strike a dock, or tubes may hit submerged objects, such as rocks. Inexperienced boat drivers also contribute to many injuries, according to Letts. Water tubing mishaps also can happen when an inner tube comes loose from the tow rope or explodes.
