Water Safety Resources

In the Tri-Lakes area, water safety is an important topic. 

Whether the water is fluid or frozen, safety should always be a priority.

While the Tri-Lakes offers swim lessons/water safety in the summer, there are also additional resources available for Washington County residents. 

Here are links to those resources. If residents have a particular interest in a certain area, they are encouraged to present ideas to a member of the Tri-Lakes Board to discuss.
