Safety at the Beach

This is very important.

• Always swim or surf at a beach patrolled by lifesavers.
• Swim between the red and yellow flags. They mark the safest areas to swim.
• Always swim under supervision. Or with a friend.
• Read and obey the signs.
• Don't swim directly after a meal.
• Don't swim under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Don't run and dive in the water.
• Conditions change regularly, check before you enter the water.
• If you are unsure of conditions, ask a lifesaver.
• If you get into trouble in the water, don't panic! Signal for help, float and wait for assistance.
• Use at least 15+ sun screen and wear a shirt, hat and sun screen. (30+ available)
• Float with a rip current or undertow. Do not swim against it.
