Young children and weak swimmers
should wear life jackets whenever they are in, on or around the water,
even at a pool or a waterpark. Put it on at the dock, deck or shore
and don’t take it off until you are on dry land.

When should I wear a life jacket?

• Always wear a life jacket when boating or rafting and when using an inner tube or personal watercraft.
• Children and inexperienced swimmers should wear life jackets whenever in, on and around
  the water, even if a lifeguard is present.
• Wear life jackets in open water, waterparks or other challenging environments and around cold water
  and ice.
