The Angels Camp Veterans Memorial District provides the swimming pool to the Community of Angels Camp for its recreation. The Board anticipates another successful swimming season. Pool Rules and Regulations are clearly posted and enforced to ensure enjoyment for all. Swimming can be a great way to have fun while getting full body exercise. But, you always have to remember that each year between 4,000 and 6,000 people drown in the United States.
Since tragic water accidents happen quickly, we have come up with the following information to help everyone have a safe and fun summer at any pool, lake or ocean.
Swimming Safety Tips: by keeping these few simple things in mind, you can make your experience in the water much safer:
*Learn to swim before you go into the water. Sounds silly, but many people think it will come naturally, and it really doesn’t.
*Swim near a lifeguard so help is available if you need it
*Never swim alone
*Supervise children closely, even when lifeguards are present
*Don't rely on flotation devices, such as rafts, you may lose them in the water
*Alcohol and swimming don't mix
*Protect your head, neck, and spine by jumping feet first into unfamiliar waters *As soon as you believe that you may be in trouble, call or wave for help
*Follow regulations and lifeguard directions
*Swim parallel to shore if you wish to swim long distances
Swim Safe!
