How to Safely Enjoy the Water | Jamie Racklyeft | TEDxMSU

No one believes they will drown, yet every day throughout the world, hundreds of people do. Jamie Racklyeft was one of the lucky ones. Here he shares his story of surviving a Great Lakes rip current; launching a water safety community; and exploring ways you can avoid, escape, and safely save others from drowning. Jamie Racklyeft is a Communication Director at the University of Michigan and founder of the Great Lakes Water Safety Consortium. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
