Life guards have noted the issue with floaties too and said it's easy to get blown away and it can turn into a dangerous situation. Podtburg said it's important to keep an eye on your floaties.

"If you do choose to bring one make sure that you are bringing some life jackets and going with friends," said Podtburg.

Life guards have been back at Park Point for a few weeks and said they've noted more people in the water with the lake temps being unusually warm this year. This is why they also remind folks to keep an eye on their beach crew and the people around them, especially kids.

"Parents put the book down, put the phone down. The CDC says the number one injury related death to children is drowning," said Smith.

"The best thing to do is always swim where the lifeguards are, people have a much higher chance of surviving any type of water emergency if they are in an area where lifeguards are present. If you see a lifeguard that's the best place to be, which is right here at the Park Point Beach House," said Podtburg.

A recommended resource to check water and wind conditions is parkpointbeach.org

"Lake Superior is a pretty powerful creature so just make sure you are watching the rip currents flags and keeping the offshore winds in mind. We've had folks blow out in the lake that we've definitely had to go rescue them," said Smith.
