Substitutes such as water wings, swim rings, inflatable toys and other items designed for water recreation cannot replace responsible adult supervision, nor should they be counted on as lifesaving devices.

Areas not designated for recreation (swimming, boating, etc.) can be especially dangerous since they are untested and unimproved and may hide such hazards as:
- Contamination
- Currents
- Dangerous aquatic plants and animals
- Murky water
- No lifeguard service
- Rising and falling water levels
- Unknown bottom conditions
The best way to avoid such hazards is to restrict activities to areas that have been selected and prepared for recreational activities.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
