When is the good advice for adults to wear uscg-approved pfds?

Adults should wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) when participating in activities such as boating, kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding, especially in open water or rough conditions. It is particularly important to wear them when conditions are unpredictable, such as during inclement weather or in unfamiliar waters. Additionally, wearing a PFD is advisable when engaging in recreational activities where there is a risk of falling into the water. Always prioritize safety by wearing a PFD, regardless of swimming ability.
