Helping God watch over you, VOAR Summer Safety tips

With school over for the year, pools nearing open season and people across the country  looking for fun ways to cool down as summer temperatures heat up, VOAR encourages you and your family to keep safety in mind!


Water Safety


Learn to swim! Take some lessons at your local pool. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim; and always swim with a buddy, never swim alone.



  • Swim in supervised areas only.
  • Obey all rules and posted signs.
  • Pay attention to local weather conditions and forecasts. Stop swimming at the first indication of bad weather.

Boating Safety


Whether you're the captain of a schooner or a passenger on a skiboat, following safety guidelines ensures your safety and that of other seafarers.



  • Be weather wise:
    Sudden wind shifts, lightning flashes and choppy water all can mean a storm is brewing. Bring a portable radio to check weather reports.
  • Bring extra gear you may need:
    A flashlight, extra batteries, matches, a map of where you are, flares, sun tan lotion, first aid kit, extra sunglasses. Put those that need to be protected in a watertight pouch or a container that floats.
  • Tell someone where you're going, who is with you, and how long you'll be away.
  • Then check your boat, equipment, boat balance, engine and fuel supply before leaving.

Sun Safety

Summer means fun in the sun! But be safe — don't let a heat-related illness ruin your day.
Always drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks when working or playing in the hot weather.

Hiking and Camping Safety

Many families will head to our national parks and forests this summer to enjoy the great outdoors. But if you're not prepared to rough it in the woods, hiking or camping can be a rough experience. The best way to help guarantee a good time for all is to plan ahead carefully and follow common sense safety precautions.
