Summertime recreating is a fun way to stay cool in the heat, but before you dive in, take a moment to absorb some important information about natural bodies of water to protect yourself and the marine life sharing the water with you.

Summer is here and that means so is the heat. Now is an important time to make sure you are getting enough water to avoid dehydration and exhaustion.
