Remember rivers are still cold! While it may be tempting to jump into rivers and/or lakes to cool off, remember that the water is still very cold! Jumping into cold water can be hazardous to even healthy people, causing cardiac arrest and potentially numbing extremities making movement difficult or impossible. Be sure to wear a life jacket! Also, ease into the water rather than jump into it and avoid drinking alcohol! Finally, remember that water in area rivers may be running swift and strong currents are possible.
