Life Jacket Loaner Program

The Utah Lake Life Jacket Loaner Program provides the public with free use of life jackets on a first-come, first-served basis. Research shows that most drowning could have been prevented if a life jacket had been worn by the victim. The goals for this program are to increase the wearing of life jackets during water-based activities as well as to educate the visiting public on the importance of proper use and fit of life jackets and water safety.
