Beach Safety Tips

DO:

• Swim on patrolled beaches, between the designated flags
• Comply with the directions of lifesavers – they know the water conditions better than you do
• Watch  your children constantly when they are in the water
• Ensure you remain hydrated – keep water bottles handy
• Apply suncream – beware of the sun’s rays.
• If you get into trouble in the water, remain calm and don’t panic! Raise your arm for help, float and wait for the lifeguards to help you
• Steer clear of deserted beaches unless you are in a large group

DO NOT:

• Swim directly after a meal
• Swim alone
• Try to swim against a current, this will
• just tire you
• Run and dive into the water. Even if you have checked before, conditions can change
• Swim when the beach has been closed by the lifesavers – they have good reasons to do so
• Mix alcohol and swimming
• Leave your valuables unattended
