National Safe Boating Council to hold life jacket event

BRISTOW, Va. — The National Safe Boating Council, in partnership with the Canadian Safe Boating Council, will host a “Ready, Set, Inflate!” event on Saturday, May 21, to promote inflatable life jackets. The event will take place at multiple locations.

This year, the NSBC and CSBC will tally not only the number of participants who inflate their inflatable life jackets during the event, but also those who wear an inherently buoyant life jacket.

“Ready, Set, Inflate!” will usher in National Safe Boating Week, this year May 21-27. The goal of National Safe Boating Week is to educate and inform the boating public about boating safety, specifically life jackets.
