Summer on Lake Michigan is the best, and a little prep makes it even better. 🌊☀️

Dangerous currents near piers and breakwalls surprise even strong swimmers. Here`s what to know:

✅ Swim in designated areas
↔️ Caught in a current? Swim to the side — not against it — then to shore
🆘 In danger? Call for a life ring

Save this post and share it with your swim crew. 👇

To every educator who has brought the Great Lakes into their classroom, thank you. 🍎

Your curiosity is contagious. Your lessons last. And the students who learn to love these waters? They’ll protect them.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at IISG.
