Safety Tips in Water Park

These are basic water park safety tips to make your experience near the water safer.

1, Learn to swim. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim.

2, Always swim with a buddy; never swim alone. On the internet, you can find swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability.

3, Be sure the area is well supervised by lifeguards before you or others in your group enter the water.

4, Read all posted signs. Follow the rules and directions given by lifeguards. Ask questions if you are not sure about a correct procedure.

5, 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.

6, Before you start down a water slide, get in the correct position - face up and feet first.

7, Some facilities provide life jackets at no charge. If you cannot swim, wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Check others in your group as well.
