MN Cold Water Awareness Day - Saturday, April 14, 2012 "I have been a sailor on Lake Superior and have become aware of how important it is to wear life jackets on the water. I truly wish more would be said in community programs (swimming instructions, CPR, etc.) about the danger of cold water immersion and possible drowning."
