PAUL, M.N. (NewsDakota.com) The Memorial Day weekend is here and many families will be heading to a lake, river or swimming pool.  The U-S Army Corps of Engineers remind everyone to be safe. 
 
This weekend is also a great opportunity to check your life jackets and ensure they are serviceable and that they still fit properly.

Swimmers never rely on toys such as inner tubes and water wings to stay afloat; Swim only in designated swimming areas and never swim alone.

The Corps reminds boaters to exercise caution and be vigilant when boating because rivers currents are strong. Always wear your life vest.
