Temperatures may be heating up, but our waters are still cold! ☀️

Whether you're visiting King County for the FIFA World Cup or enjoying a local beach this summer, remember that lakes, rivers, and ocean waters can remain dangerously cold even on warm, sunny days. Cold water shock can occur when water temperatures are below 70°F (21°C), causing involuntary gasping, loss of muscle control, and increasing the risk of drowning.

Stay safe around water and follow essential tips from Public Health - Seattle & King County: wear a life jacket, supervise kids closely, and choose safer places to swim.
