Life Looks Good On You - Life Jacket Loaner Program

LifeLooksGoodOnYou

What is the Life Looks Good On You - Life Jacket Loaner Program?

Research shows that most drowning could have been prevented if a life jacket had been worn by the victim. The goals for this program are to increase life jacket wear during water-based activities as well as to educate the visiting public on the importance of proper use and fit.

Osborn Aquatic Center began the Life Looks Good On You -  life jacket loaner program in the Summer of 2020 to provide the public with free use of life jackets on a first-come, first served basis. This program is open to all who need to borrow a life jacket between Memorial May and Labor Day (weather dependent!)

Life Jackets can be borrowed directly from Osborn Aquatic Center during our regular Hours of Operation. We also sponsor three additional Loaner Kiosks at Willamette Park, Crystal Lake Boat Landing and Downtown Corvallis/North Riverfront Park (formerly known as Michael's Landing).

You can also find Loaner Kiosks throughout the state by visiting the Oregon Marine Board's website.

Life Looks Good On You - Life Jacket Loaner Program was first made possible due to a generous donation from the Benton Community Foundation, and it receives continued support from the Benton County Sheriff's Department, the Nautical Safety Foundation, and Donations from Community Members. Thank you!
