Water Safety | City of Kamloops The safest place and time to swim at Riverside Park beach is when a lifeguard is on duty. The best place to swim is in a supervised pool. Water recreation is not only a lot of fun, it can also be a strenuous pastime, especially when you’re spending all day in the hot sun. Fatigue and heat illnesses can be dangerous when mixed with driving a boat or swimming. Make sure you bring plenty of water to stay hydrated, wear protective clothing and sunscreen, and don’t push yourself past your limit.

A graphic of a red swimmer in a freestyle stroke appears over a rippling blue water background. Bold text at the top reads “LEARNING SAVES LIVES,” and below the swimmer, it says “NATIONAL DROWNING PREVENTION WEEK.”

There are more reasons to learn than fish in the sea. But when in water, education makes the difference between summer fun and a significant risk.

During #NationalDrowningPreventionWeek, we are reminded that the more we learn about #WaterSafety, the more lives we protect.
