This morning we were treated to a breakfast seminar on water safety, put on by the esteemed Professor J. So pull up a bagel, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy his illustrated water safety tips! Paraphrasing him as closely as I can remember:
First, here's a diagram of the swimming areas at our local lake's beach. You'll note the raft in the deep side (no diving off the raft! Only jump straight!) and the swimmer in the shallow side. It's very important to NOT feed the geese or other birds.
(The rest is adapted visusally to include the swim alert flags at the state shoreline beaches, apparently because we have no such system at our local beach.)This sign means "open for swimming".
This sign means "Warning! No lifeguard on duty! Swim at your own risk."
This sign means "Swimming is unsafe. Beach is closed."I know I feel safer for knowing all that, don't you?
