Informational Advisory on Water Safety

As more and more people are using bodies of water for cooling or recreation this summer, there comes with that an increase in the risk of drowning. Warning signs of drowning are often silent or go noticed and even the most skilled swimmers are susceptible to drowning, so be careful!

For more information on keeping safe in and around bodies of water, visit Massachusetts's Department of Public Health Water Safety webpage and learn about other water safety tips.
