 Always have a life jacket if you don't know how to swim. Or just in general, if you're on a lake, you should always have a life jacket because that's going to help save you. If you don't have a life jacket, we teach the kids how to back float. That is a big main thing. Back floating is going to save you because your face is out of the water. You're going to be able to relax, catch your breath before you flip back over onto your stomach and swim or you swim on your back.
