A clear indicator of breaking cycles is the ability to expose yourself to new (healthy) experiences. It's a sign that you're willing to do something out of the norm for yourself and be open to experiencing things you once thought were never possible. One of those things for me was swimming with dolphins in Hawaii back in 2016. It was so refreshing, as I never imagined being able to experience it as a broken child. What would you like to experience for the first time? #newexperiences #newyou #outsideyourcomfortzone #breakfree #befree #experiencelife #livelife #breakthecycle #cyclebreakers

When boating and anchoring off a beach area, always remember the dangerous rip currents! Summertime is meant for beachy relaxation, boating and swimming. But to make sure you really enjoy your day out on the water, it's important to understand dangerous rip currents. 🌊 Though many believe rip currents pull you underwater, they actually pull you away from the shoreline. 🌊 Speeds can vary from 1 to 2 feet per second — but some have been recorded at 8 feet per second. 🌊 They range from narrow slices of water to more than 50 yards wide. If you find yourself being pulled out to sea, it's most important that you keep calm. Try not to swim against the current. Instead, swim parallel to the shoreline until you don't feel its pull anymore. Stay vigilant and safe out there on the water!

Everything’s better (and safer) with a friend by your side! Why is swimming with a buddy so important? • Life-Saving Support: A buddy can call for help or perform CPR if you’re in trouble. • Increased Comfort: Knowing someone’s got your back will make you feel safer and more comfortable. So, grab a friend, and let’s dive in! Stay safe and enjoy the water together.

May is Water Safety Month, and as we look forward to enjoying the warm weather and fun water activities, it's crucial to prioritize safety for everyone. 🌊 Whether you're at the pool, beach, or lake, here are a few essential tips to ensure a safe water experience: Supervise Children: Keep a close watch on children when near water, even if they are proficient swimmers. Wear Life Jackets: Life jackets save lives. Ensure everyone wears a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket, especially non-swimmers and children. Learn to Swim: Basic swimming skills can significantly increase water safety. Consider enrolling in swimming lessons if you haven't already. Stay Within Designated Swimming Areas: Only swim in areas designated for swimming and have lifeguards present. Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol impairs judgment and swimming ability. Stay sober when you're involved in water activities. Let's all do our part to make this summer fun and safe. Remember, being prepared and cautious can prevent accidents and ensure that our water adventures leave us with good memories. 🏊♂️💦 📍789 Grand Caillou Road Houma, LA 70363 ☎️ (985) 876-4410 #watersafetymonth #swimmingsaveslives #goodneighbor #statefarm #houma #houmainsurance #louisiana #louisianainsurance #daltonleblancinsurance #youragentdaltonleblanc

I'm a year-round sea swimmer. I'm one of those idiots who will swim in the sea whatever the weather, even when everyone else is wrapped in 17 layers plus a puffer jacket. I sometimes get asked why I do it, in fact, when I'm walking towards an uninviting looking sea in February with my teeth chattering and every fibre of my being screaming at me not to go in, I sometimes ask myself that question. My answer usually centres on the following: 🟩 Sea swimming relieves stress (try stressing about your VAT return or a difficult client when you're experiencing a sheer battle for survival in the freezing water) 🟩 It seems to alleviate my #perimenopause symptoms (try having a hot flush in water that's 8 degrees with a northerly wind battering you) 🟩 I think I get ill less often (controversial that one, but there's a theory that it boosts your immune system) I can't prove that any of the benefits I think I get are really caused by the sea swimming, or by something else, or whether I might have experienced these things even without the sea swimming. As a researcher / evaluator, I tend to overthink things like causality, attribution, establishing the counterfactual, etc. In the interests of evidence-based decision making (shall I get in the freezing cold sea or not?) I feel like I need a well planned and executed impact evaluation. But I don’t have a control group here, I can’t conduct a #RandomisedControlTrial on myself (that would represent a higher level of insanity than the sea swimming itself). So I’ve decided that for those moments when I’m on the beach, on a freezing cold day persuading myself that a dip in the sea is good decision, I’m going to forget about evidencing the impact and just go for it. Sometimes you need to leave your career behind and live in the moment. Photo is of me just after my Christmas Day swim at Broadsands, Devon in 2022. And yes that grey cloud did turn into torrential rain while I was getting changed on the beach. #Researcher #Evaluator #ColdWaterSwimming #ImpactEvaluation

#WorldDrowningPreventionDay When summer hits, it is tempting to cool off by indulging in water activities. Let's recognize the importance of keeping safe while we enjoy recreational water activities. 1. Take #swimming lessons. This is an important basic life skill 2. Check the #safety display near the pools or near open water to stay safe and to understand local hazards 3. Supervise #children directly and ensure they are within arm's reach, all the time. #Lifejackets are an added protection but should never replace parental supervision 4. Most #drownings are avoidable through #education and with a healthy regard for the potential dangers associated with water either in swimming pools or when doing activities like kayaking or boating in open water bodies. #NDPW2024 #drowningprevention #IPHQatar
