Corps of Engeers shares water safety tips for Labor Day Weekend
ASHLAND, Tenn. (June 16, 2014) – Two young swimmers borrow life rings from the Life Jacket Loaner board at the Cheatham Dam beach area. The life jacket loaner board is used for anyone who needs to borrow a life vest. Before heading out for the lake or river, be sure you have a life jacket on hand for everyone. Check that the life jackets are U.S. Coast Guard approved, are the right size, the right fit, and are appropriate for the activity you have planned. Then please make sure everyone wears it. Life jackets save lives by keeping you afloat and providing time for rescue.
