This Memorial Day weekend, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Savannah District, reminds everyone to make water safety a top priority in every water adventure.

This weekend brings the first major influx of boaters and swimmers as thousands of visitors are likely to visit Hartwell, Richard B. Russell, and J. Strom Thurmond Lakes, on the Upper Savannah River Basin. Corps of Engineers officials remind visitors to be prepared for the current low water levels, due to the ongoing drought conditions in the area.

If visiting the lakes, be especially vigilant for potential hazards just below the surface of the water. And when in, on or around the water:

Always wear a properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket when on or near the water. Statistics show that most drowning victims were not wearing one.

Swimming in undesignated areas is the leading activity associated with drownings in Corps of Engineers lakes and river projects. Beware of sudden drop-offs and underwater hazards.

Low lake levels have exposed submerged stumps, rocks, and shallow sandbars. Navigate with extreme caution and never dive into unknown waters, as depths have changed significantly.

Avoid overestimating your swimming ability and never swim alone. Do not try to swim across coves, to buoys, or to islands – they are farther than they appear or might be too far for your swimming abilities.

Because many water-related tragedies involve individuals who never intended to enter the water, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear life jackets, regardless of age or swimming ability. For those who may have forgotten their gear, free life jacket loaner stations are readily available at many designated swim beaches and boat ramps.

Finally, we remind everyone to boat and swim sober, as alcohol severely impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time. By staying alert, adapting to the lower lake levels, and wearing a life jacket, you can help ensure a secure and memorable holiday weekend for your family and friends.

Following these safety tips can help make your family’s holiday a safe and enjoyable one.
