MINDEN, Nev. - The Douglas County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue (DCSAR) Team completed another successful summer water safety training series this past Saturday with the Carson Valley Swim Center (CVSC) and its staff. Over 100 children and their parents learned the basics of water safety in and around lakes and rivers.

With many people continuing to enjoy the summer holidays or planning a break this weekend, the organisations are asking people to be particularly mindful to check weather forecasts and tide times before venturing out and if planning on entering the sea to know how to spot and safely handle a rip current.

Of all the contacts during the weekend, no one encountered was under the influence of drugs/alcohol.

With the summer season now officially here, the Manitoba RCMP would like to remind everyone to stay safe out on the water.
