*Water Safety Reminder: Be Cautious at Rivers, Lakes, and Puget Sound
*After five consecutive years of preventable drowning deaths staying at historically high levels, King County officials are reminding the public to be cautious at rivers, lakes, and Puget Sound this summer. Water can be dangerously cold even with warm weather, causing swimmers to experience debilitating shock. Remember to wear a life jacket and designate an adult to supervise kids closely.

Experts say the trend is the result of multiple factors: warmer air temperatures in spring and early summer when open water remains dangerously cold, a nationwide shortage of lifeguards, and inequitable access to pools and swimming lessons. They also noted that in the past five years, 70% of King County preventable drowning deaths involved drugs or alcohol. Read the full news release and water safety tips.
