Virginia Eubanks has published a guide to open water lifesaving, which is a valuable resource for Rochester residents who enjoy water activities. The guide is a comprehensive resource that covers topics such as water safety and rescue techniques, and is aimed at both beginners and experienced swimmers. In Rochester, residents are eager to get out on the water, whether it's on the Genesee River or Lake Ontario.
The guide is a timely resource, as the summer months are when many residents are most likely to be on the water.
"I wanted to create a resource that would help people stay safe on the water," said Eubanks. The guide is available online and in local bookstores, and is a must-read for anyone who spends time on the water. The University of Rochester is also offering a course on water safety, which will cover topics such as lifeguarding and rescue techniques.
As the city looks to the future, residents are encouraged to take advantage of these resources to stay safe on the water. The next step will be to see how the guide is received by the community, and what impact it has on water safety in Rochester. The Democrat and Chronicle will be hosting a workshop on water safety, featuring Eubanks as a speaker, which will take place later this month.
