Paddle safely
- Wear a properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
- Carry a whistle or other sound-producing device.
- Check weather and water conditions before you go.
- Use the proper equipment for your activity, including the appropriate leash for stand-up paddleboarding.
- Know your limits and be prepared for changing conditions.
Cold water safety
Cold water drains body heat much faster than cold air and can cause cold shock and rapid loss of muscle control—even for strong swimmers.
Boating safety tips
- Never boat or swim under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Travel at safe speeds.
- Watch for changing water levels, floating debris, rock outcrops, and stumps.
- Follow all Washington boating regulations
