If you're heading to a beach at a Miami-Dade County park, you better leave your flamingo floats, floatties and rafts at home.
Lifeguards have started enforcing a little-known statute in Miami-Dade County that makes using floats in parks against the rules.
The statute explains that floats tend to deflate, making them unsafe. Bigger ones can even make it hard for a lifeguard to see those using the floats and other swimmers.
The rule applies to all flotation devices, including water wings for kids, so swimmers are urged to stick to U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets to avoid any issues.
