Introduction to Unit 2: Life Jacket Selection
Courtesy of The U.S. Coast Guard
Safety should be a top priority when engaging in water activities. One essential piece of safety equipment is a life jacket. However, not all life jackets are created equal. This unit will guide you through the process of selecting the right life jacket based on the activity you'll be participating in, including information on inflatable life jackets and hybrid models. No matter the activity, both children and adults should always be fitted with a properly fitting, approved life jacket in serviceable condition.
