All about Cold Water Safety
Cold water can make your body lose heat quickly. Within minutes, cold water can make it hard to breathe, move your arms and legs, and think clearly. This is why swimming in cold water needs extra care.
Always swim with an adult or in a supervised area, and never go into water alone. If you fall into cold water, try to stay calm, keep your head above water and call for help. Wearing a life jacket is a safe choice when boating.
