Summer starts on June 20th and children and their families will soon be enjoying lakes, rivers, and swimming pools.

That means the danger of a tragedy on the water will increase in the next couple of months.  Even though the weather has warmed up, water temperatures are still dangerously cold in some lakes and river currents can be swift and dangerous.

Water safety experts advise everyone, including adults to wear life jackets.

“We want our communities to live and love the outdoor lifestyle and be safe while doing it,” according to Country Supplier COO Mandi Dyer. “We have had employees with personal experiences of loved ones drowning in lakes and rivers, which is something we don’t want anyone else to experience. We believe that making sure that anyone that needs a life jacket has one is key in preventing future tragedies,” continued Dyer.

Eastern WA Coastal Locations:

• in East Wenatchee at 260 Highline Drive
• in Yakima at 2112 South 1st Street
