ICE SAFETY TIPS

If you find yourself falling through the ice experts suggest you do the following;

  • Remain calm, get your breathing under control

  • Swim back to the side you approached from as you know that was safe ice

  • Pull your arms up onto the ice ( if you have ice picks use them)

  • Kick your feet and pull with your arms

  • Kick and pull kick and pull

  • Once on top of the ice roll away from the open water

  • Get yourself into a heater area if you can and remove your wet cloths, wrap yourself in a warm blanket

  • If you were in the water for much longer call 911 GET HELP

    Remember Hypothermia can kill, conditions are unpredictable and tell someone where you are going. The 1-10-1 rule applies, you have 1 minute to get your breathing under control, you have 10 minutes of meaningful movement and you have 1 hour before you go unconscious.

    Wear a float suit, carry ice picks, don’t just walk out on a lake or pond.
