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.

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.

Boating Safety boating facilities boating regulations boating education boating safety ... Boating fatalities in Idaho, 1975-2000 This quiet killer lurks in summer water, too What is hypothermia? Hypothermia is the lowering of the body core temperature as a result of exposure to a cold environment. It's not cold in the summer. What's the problem? In Idaho, water temperatures even in the summer can hover around 50 degrees. Your body needs to maintain a temperature of about 98.6 degrees. So, what happens? Once you are immersed in cold water: Your core body temperature begins to decline You feel cold and start to shiver in order to re-warm yourself You lose manual dexterity and coordination You suffer mental impairment In time, you can die from cardiac arrest These stages of hypothermia happen at different rates depending on your physical health, the temperature of the water and what you're wearing. Hypothermia can set in as quickly as ten minutes. In many cases, you may lose consciousness and drown before your temperature drops low enough to cause death. How can I prevent hypothermia?
