How to Put on a Lifejacket in the Water
This procedure is more difficult than it may seem! Practice in a supervised area:
Step 1
Spread the flotation device open with the inside facing up and out of the water and the neck facing toward you.
Step 2
Extend your arms through the arm openings.
Step 3
Lift your arms above your head, lie backwards and then pull the lifejacket around your upper body.
Step 4
Fasten the zippers, straps, buckles and/or ties to ensure a snug fit.
