Can I use my personal flotation device while swimming at the beach?

Using personal flotation devices (PFDs) like life jackets can enhance safety while swimming, but it's important to know the regulations at your specific beach. Some areas may have restrictions on the types of PFDs allowed or where they can be used. • Always swim in designated areas and be mindful of lifeguard instructions. They can provide guidance on the safest practices for using flotation devices in the water.
