Water: How Safe Are You?
Year Published: September 1987
Price: $0.00
As the weather turns hot there is nothing so inviting as the thought of cool water and swimming, skiing, boating, fishing or just lazing away the afternoon. Below that placid surface is danger, however, and each year in Texas an average of 650 people get so involved in their activities that the end result is death by drowning. Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death of Americans between the ages of 1 and 44. Since most victims are teenaged males between 15 and 19 years old, this bulletin points out some of the more obvious, but often forgotten, safety practices. Written primarily for a teenaged audience, it covers swimming, river recreation and boating. It includes a list of reference brochures, films, books and courses that can be used to supplement water safety instruction.
