Swim Challenge 15 sec PSA
This video shows a friend challenging another friend to swim out to a boat. Unfortunately, several people drown every year when they exceed their swimming ability in such activities as swimming across a cove, to an island or buoy, to another boat, or after something like a beach ball or boat that is drifting away. Please do not ever challenge a friend or family member to swim out to something unless everyone is wearing a life jacket. A life jacket such as a belt type inflatable life jacket won’t restrict your swimming ability and will be there when you need it. Life Jackets Worn…Nobody Mourns. Learn more at PleaseWearIt.com.
