Safety news: The easiest way to ensure a child's safety on the water is to make sure they wear a properly-fitting life jacket. But children's growth spurts or last minute changes to the roster of invited guests don't always make that easy. However, your boat club or waterfront business may be able to help next season as the BoatU.S. Foundation for Boating Safety & Clean Water is looking for new locations to become lending sites for its free Life Jacket Loaner Program. There is no cost to become a loaner site and presently over 328 clubs and businesses participate as Life Jacket Loaner Program sites. Since the program began in 1997, three children's lives have been saved as a result of wearing a BoatU.S. life jacket. The loaner life jacket kit consists of 12 jackets in a protective container, signage and easy-to-use sign-out sheets to track usage. Three sizes are included for kids up to 90 pounds. To download an application to become a Life Jacket Loaner Program site or for more information on the laws in your state, please visit http://www.BoatUS.com/Foundation/LJLP. Applications will be accepted until February 21, 2006 |
