Honored to have an audience with Gov. Bill Lee to share about Electric Shock Drowning.

Tennessee public marinas are inspected once every five years as a result of our law. With Memorial Day being the unofficial start of lake season be aware of what you can do to be aware of the dangers of Electric Shock Downing.

1. Have your boat tested once a year.
2. Never use common household extensions or household wiring for your boat.
3. Never swim within 100 yards of freshwater marina or boatyard.

Please contact us if you wish to make a donation to Electric Shock Drowning. We are a 501 C3 Organization.
