During the hot summer and holiday season, water recreation activities are especially popular. The Taichung City Government places great emphasis on water safety, regularly holding rescue drills to improve lifesaving skills. Occasional joint awareness campaigns and enforcement actions are also conducted at Taichung's main dangerous water areas. By increasing inspection frequencies and using electronic public announcement devices, they strive to educate everyone to avoid wild streams, rivers, and dangerous waters, aiming to reduce drowning incidents.

According to the Tourism and Travel Bureau, the city government has announced 11 dangerous water areas. These areas have rapid currents, variable depths, many underwater rocks, small recirculation zones, whirlpools, calm but deep waters, undercurrents, and low temperatures, all of which can lead to drowning accidents if people lower their guard. The public is strongly advised to avoid these dangerous waters. When playing in water, be mindful of weather changes, warm up beforehand, avoid entering the water when tired, do not wear absorbent clothing or jeans, avoid risky behaviors, do not stay in the water for too long, and always choose safe areas with proper safety devices and lifeguards.

The Tourism and Travel Bureau also pointed out that safety should be the top priority for water activities. People are encouraged to use certified swimming pools that are available throughout the city. Detailed information can be found on the city government's Sports Bureau website.
