Top 5 Tips for Water Park Safety

Water parks are a great place to visit on hot summer days, but they can be dangerous without the proper safety precautions.

• Learn to swim. If you cannot swim, wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket.
• Be sure the area is well supervised by lifeguards before you or others in your group enter the water.
• Read all posted signs. Follow the rules and directions given by lifeguards. Ask questions if you are not sure about a correct procedure.
• When you go from one attraction to another, note that the water depth may be different and that the attraction should be used in a different way.
• Before you start down a water slide, get in the correct position- face up and feet first.
