“I do enjoy the water. I find it quite calming. It’s like swimming in a sea of my own fabulousness.” - Moira Rose

It’s great to enjoy the water, but one thing our visitors know too well is that swimming in rivers, lakes, and oceans is very different from swimming in a pool, either at home or at a motel. You can encounter strong currents, high waves, and cold temperatures. Learning how to swim can help bring everyone home after a fun day in the water and let you truly enjoy the fabulousness. Fun fact: Moose are adept swimmers and can hold their breath underwater for a full minute. Nice. 

Take a swimming class that teaches: 

🏊 Basic swimming skills 
🏊 Water survival skills 
🏊 Water safety awareness 

Join us every day this week to learn about the five layers of protection for a fun summer in the water! Learn more at: nps.gov/articles/swimming-safety.htm

Image: Nothing more fabulous than a moose swimming at glacierbaynps. Maybe a disgruntled pelican. Wait, do they swim?
