Swimming Safety
When swimming from your boat, the following basic safe swimming
recommendations must be observed:
Anchor the boat and shut off the motor before anyone enters the
water.
Swim in the presence of others. Never swim alone.
Swim on the shore side of the boat, away from other boat traffic.
Designate a person on the boat to observe swimmers at all times.
Use the ladder to enter the water for your safety. Unknown water
depths and other variables make ladder entry the safest method.
Use a ladder or other safe means of reboarding.
Swimmers must not use the pontoon tubes to enter or leave the
water.
Never allow swimmers or water skiers to enter or
exit the boat with the engine running or the
propeller moving. Never back up your boat to
reach a person in the water.
Never dive from any part of the boat. Water depths
can be unpredictable, and serious injuries or
death can occur from diving into shallow water.
Children must be under adult supervision at all
times, both in the water and on the boat.
