Evanston is following the lead of the Chicago Park District and implementing a flag warning system at its beaches this summer to inform swimmers of water conditions. A new flag warning system and life jacket loaner program are being made available to beachgoers in Evanston this summer.
Following the incident, Carter urged swimmers to remain in the designated swimming zones, only swim when lifeguards are present and routinely check swimming flags as conditions may shift throughout the day. “Our dedicated young team members are often the first to initiate rescue operations in the water,” he said. “A missing person report on the beach or in the water is a critical situation.”
No waivers or collateral are necessary with Carter hoping to encourage those who need one to not hesitate to ask.
