Always stay safe in open-water - Never Forget Your Tow Float!
It’s not a fashion accessory — it’s a lifesaver. It makes you visible, keeps you safe, and doubles as a dry bag. 🎒
Safety = confidence = better swims.

Rip currents, the silent killers of hurricanes, can strike on a sunny day hundreds of miles away. If caught: Don’t panic. Don’t fight it. Swim parallel to shore until you’re free.

Gonna take a second to brag about my awesome wife @maryhawkins.bsky.social, who illustrated these PSAs for swimming safety in NYC. She also created animated versions. It’s wild seeing her art on busses, in subway stations, on kiosks, etc, and I’m super proud of her!

There is afaik, no equivalent testing currently happening in Grasmere. I'd love to help set some up here because it's important to me to know - as someone who swims with chronic illness and doesn't want to get more ill by swimming - whether it's safe to swim. #SwimSafety #DisabledSwimmers

Water quality in Grasmere improved with improvements to the sewage works (tho for years I only swam in tarns until anecdotal evidence suggested Grasmere was safe[r]). I've not [yet] had any problems but I'm careful not to swim after or in heavy rain now. We deserve better information. #SwimSafety
