Beach water safety

• The safest place to swim at the beach is between the red and yellow flags.
• Mark a reference point on the shore to avoid drifting.
• Always read the surf conditions board.
• If you think conditions are too rough for you, don't go in.
• Always swim with a friend, never alone.
• Swim parallel to, and not away from, the shore when you swim long distances.
• Swim in well-lit areas so you can be seen if you get into trouble.
• For your safety, leave the water immediately when requested by a lifeguard.
