There have been several drowning deaths across the state this month, and Tracy Spry at Lake Red Rock is reminding boaters and swimmers to stay safe. She says a big thing many boaters forget is that your boat can get away from you if you don’t leave someone in the boat while you swim. She says swimming buddies are important too, especially around Lake Red Rock, because they don’t have lifeguards. She also reminds Lake goers that they have a free life jacket check out program.
