🐊🌊 Freshwater? ✅ Brackish water? ✅ Even salt water? ✅

If it’s water, there might be a gator in it.
Look before you leap… or swim… or wade.😉

This one is having a swim in a brackish overwash pond at the coast.

🐾🚫 Harmful Algal Blooms (#HABs) can be dangerous for #pets.

#Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are not always visible to the naked eye, and may cause drooling, vomiting, weakness, or seizures...sometimes within minutes.

Please rinse pets w/ tap water & soap right after swimming.
