Stay safe over Labor Day weekend. Remember, marinas aren’t meant to be swimming areas. If electricity seeps into the water, it could become energized and deadly.
If you are in the water and feel electric current:
Shout to let others know.
Tuck your legs up to make yourself smaller.
Try to go away from anything that could be energized.
Do not head to boat or dock ladders to get out.
If you are on the dock or shore when a swimmer feels electrical current:
Do not jump in.
Throw them a non-conductive flotation device.
Unplug or turn off the source of electricity as quickly as possible.
Call for help and 9-1-1.
