• Swiftness
• Swim with the current
• Never swim while intoxicated
• Do not grab, swim or float into wooded river banks.  Underwater obstructions are present.
• Know your limitations and capabilities while in the water
• All people should swim with a partner or supervision
• All people that do not know how to swim should use the available life jackets or your own -- Be safe, not sorry
• All children must be supervised and also have a life jacket to achieve safety and insurance for the child.
• While boating, floating or swimming, be aware of the temperature of the air and the river temperature:  May cause cramping, fainting or hypothermia
