🚤 Boating with kids? Safety comes first.

Make sure your child always wears a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket (PFD) when on the water. Choose one that fits their weight and activity—and for younger children, look for a style with a head-support collar and a strap between the legs for added security. Even on docks and at marinas, weak or non-swimmers should stay in a life jacket. And remember: water wings and inflatable toys are not designed to prevent drowning.

Not sure if it fits correctly? Learn how to properly fit a life jacket here:

🌊 Enjoy the water safely!

Wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket when boating or participating in other water activities.
