“A day in the water is a fun way to beat our Florida heat, but it’s important to be aware of the dangers below the water as well as above. Our Aviation Unit captured this video of sharks swimming near the Anclote Sandbar and Anclote Island earlier this week.”
Florida’s Pasco County Sheriff’s Office is warning swimmers to be aware of sharks after its aviation unit captured video of the fish near Anclote Island off the coast of Tampa. Not sure what kind of sharks these are but I’d steer clear if I was a swimmer. May is National Water Safety Month and we highly recommend you take advantage of the resources available HERE.
This National Water Safety Month, familiarize yourself with the water safety tips below before heading into the water:
-Be cautious of your surroundings.
-Learn to swim and always swim with a buddy.
-Keep a fully charged phone and first aid kit close by for emergencies.
-Never leave children unattended in or near water.
Share these safety instructions with family and friends to help them stay safe!
