When swimming in lakes, ponds, and other natural bodies of water, be aware of tree limbs, rocks or other obstacles and steep drop-offs that can take you by surprise. See more water safety tips: mass.gov/SwimSafe #SwimSafe #WaterSafety
What’s hiding under the surface? Hidden dangers can be deadly, even for experienced swimmers. Steep drop-offs can take you by surprise. Invisible currents that can sweep you away or tire you out. More distance to reach that island than you think. Cold water that can shock your system & impair your ability to react. Tree limbs, plants, rocks & other obstacles that you can get stuck on. More info: mass.gov/WaterSafety
