Hsu Chia-hao, Director of the Taitung County Government Agriculture Department, told the Central News Agency today that to provide the public with more diverse choices to beat the summer heat, the Taitung County Government is opening a designated water area in Flowing Lake for swimming from today until the end of September, daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Lifeguards and management personnel will be stationed on-site so the public can swim safely. Swimmers are urged to strictly follow instructions from relevant authorities or managers to ensure safety.
Hsu Chia-hao stated that during the trial opening of Flowing Lake last year, it attracted many people to swim and play in the water. With the assistance of lifeguards and managers, the activities proceeded safely and smoothly, receiving a great response. The county government continues to promote it this year, allowing more people to enjoy safe and comfortable water activities during the summer.
He noted that Flowing Lake is very different from ordinary swimming pools. The water depth reaches up to 2.5 meters, and with abundant spring water, it can even exceed 4 meters. Before entering the water, individuals should assess their own health conditions and avoid forcing themselves. Except when actively swimming, please bring flotation devices or wear life jackets to ensure safety. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Flowing Lake is not an ordinary pool; the water is colder and deeper, so safety is the highest priority.
The Taitung County Government Agriculture Department reminds the public that Flowing Lake is a national-level wetland. Catching animals and plants in the lake without permission is strictly prohibited. If swimmers need sun protection, please use ocean-friendly sunscreens. In addition, only simple rinsing facilities are provided on-site; please do not use any cleaning products to wash, in order to maintain the wetland's natural ecological environment.
