After a rash of drownings on lakes around the Valley last summer, a water safety event was held at Lake Pleasant to try and reduce those numbers this year.
That's why April 8's water safety event was held at Dillon's Bayou at Lake Pleasant Harbor Marina. Experts will focus on a different topic each month. This weekend was paddle boarding.
"Since the pandemic, paddle sports has really taken off in popularity. It's very expensive to get into. People don't know what all the requirements are," Marske said. Sheriff's deputies say the monthly water safety events are helpful to those with lots of knowledge about recreational activities, as well as newbies.
"They need to know that you have to have a life jacket with you. If you're under 12, you have to be wearing that life jacket," Marske warned. Another event will be held Saturday, May 13. They're providing free breakfast burritos for anyone who attends.A man died after having a medical emergency and falling into Bartlett Lake on Saturday, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said.The victim, who was from California, was found dead by divers on the morning of Jan. 16. The man reportedly tried to swim to land, but went underwater and never resurfaced.
