This is *** vlog editorial. Summer's barely *** week old and vlog has already reported on one boat-related accident that led to *** drowning and at least two near drownings at local pools, and it seems only appropriate that we use this forum to once again review the critical importance of water safety. Swimming and boating can be great fun, but they come with serious risks. Tragedies can happen silently and in seconds. So vigilance is key. Always supervise children, even strong swimmers, and ensure everyone wears *** life jacket when boating, no exceptions. Life jackets save lives and are an easy safety measure. When swimming, use the buddy system. Avoid alcohol, and respect your limits. Water conditions, currents, and exhaustion can be deceptive. For those of you who routinely enjoy boating and fishing. Please make sure to check your vessel's safety gear. This includes ensuring you have the right number of life jackets, and they are easily accessible. In addition, making sure you have flares, ropes, and other safety equipment is just as important. Preparation now prevents panic later. Recently, many of my vlog team members took CPR training. It was an invaluable experience, and it could save someone's life in an emergency. You may want to consider this as another means for protecting your family. This summer, let's make safety *** priority so memories are joyful and not tragic. Together we can ensure our time on the water remains safe, fun, and unforgettable. vlog welcomes responsible replies to this editorial.
