Aug 08 review:My family and I have stayed at many locations in the Glen Arbor area since we began vacationing there in 1999: The Homestead Resort’s several properties, the Sleepy Bear Campground, and other rental homes. We haven’t enjoyed any of them as much as the Foxwood. The location is perfect for a walk into town. The river amenities are wonderful – especially since well-behaved dogs are allowed

Water Safety Tips Northern Michigan Be safe when you Visit Up North

visitupnorth — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:36:35 +0000

These general water safety tips will help you stay safe in and around the water.

Learn to swim.The best thing anyone can do to stay safe is to learn to swim. Always swim with a buddy;never swim alone. The American Red Cross has swimming courses for people of all ages. Contact a local Red Cross chapter.

Swim in areas supervised by a lifegaurd on public beach areas.

Children and inexperienced swimmers should take precautions, such as wearing a U.S.Coastguard approved personal floatation device.

Watch out for dangerous “too’s”. Too tired, too cold, too much sun from strenuous activity, too far from safety.

Set water rules for the entire family.

Be knowledgeable of the water environment you are in and the potential hazards, such as deep & shallow areas, current and depth changes.

Pay attention to local weather conditions. Stop swimming at the first indication of bad weather.

Do not use alcohol with swimming, diving or boating. Alcohol impairs judgement, balance and coordination. It also reduces your body’s ability to stay warm.

Watch for signs of heat stroke. Heat stroke is life threatening. The body’s temperature control system which produces sweating stops working.

Wear foot protection.

Never leave a child unobserved around water.Adult supervision is recommended at all times.

Keep your cell phone or cordless nearby in case you need to call 911.

Considering water safety rules can help ensure a safe and happy vacation!
