As summer brings tourists flocking to the picturesque shores across Ontario, the OPP is reminding everyone of the vital importance of swimming safety.
One of the primary concerns are Ontario’s lake’s rapidly changing conditions – using Lake Huron as an example.
Unfortunately, these hazards often lead to tragic outcomes.
Constable Craig Soldan says that it’s important to be aware of your surroundings, and not venture out too far from the shore.
Parents and guardians should be particularly vigilant, ensuring that children and less experienced swimmers are never unattended.
