🌊Lake Michigan is beautiful—but powerful. Currents, waves, cold water, and shifting weather can turn dangerous fast.
Before heading to the beach, check the forecast, wave reports, and water conditions.
If something feels off or you're unsure, play it safe and stay on shore. Your safety comes first.

🚨𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! Each week, the Kenosha Safety Around Water Coalition is sharing quick tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe in and around the water this summer.

🙌 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗽 #𝟰: 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵, 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄—𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗚𝗼!
See someone in trouble? Your instinct might be to jump in—but unless you're trained, that could put you at risk too.
Instead:
➡️ 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 out with a long object
➡️ 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄 something that floats
❌ 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼 in after them
Smart help saves lives—yours and theirs.

Caught in a current? 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝘁. Flip onto your back, float to conserve energy, and follow the current until you can escape or get help.
This simple survival strategy can save your life - especially in dangerous currents like those found near Kenosha’s lakeshore.

🚨It’s Water Safety Month! Each week, the Kenosha Safety Around Water Coalition is sharing quick tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe in and around the water this summer.

🌊 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦𝗡’𝗧 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞
Forget the dramatic splashing and shouting you see in movies - 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁. It can look like someone calmly bobbing, staring blankly, or barely moving at all.
👀 If you’re unsure whether someone is in trouble, 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀 - 𝗮𝘀𝗸. If they can respond, they’re likely okay. If they can’t, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆.
Most drowning victims never call out for help. There’s a very small window before a distressed swimmer becomes an active drowning victim—every second counts.
Stay alert. Stay safe. Know what to look for. 🛟
