Beach Safety: When trying to spot rip currents look for a muddy/sandy color in the water moving out into the lake. Also look for a break or ‘calm spot’ in between incoming waves.

Beach Safety: Rip Currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore. They can sweep even the strongest swimmer away. It's important to know what to do if caught in one!

Beach Safety: Designate a water watcher, an adult whose sole responsibility is to monitor swimmers in the water. Drowning is silent, learn what signs to watch for.
