Water safety is important year-round, of course, but summer has arrived and New Englanders are hopping in the nearest body of water.
Though the weather finally being warm enough to jump in our still-freezing local waters is an oddly joyful time, May and June were marked with over two dozen tragic drownings, most recently on June 23 when a 60-year-old man drowned in a pool. Horrible incidents happen, but it’s important to know everything we can to prevent them.
