FOLLOW SAFETY TIPS:
• SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD. NEVER SWIM ALONE!
• Swim in a lifeguard area only during duty hours.
• Long-distance swimming is best done parallel
to the shore.
• Don’t panic if you are being pulled off shore by
a rip current. Swim toward shore at a 45-degree angle.
• Check with lifeguards regarding ocean conditions
before entering water.
• Help prevent injuries to yourself or others by
reporting unsafe conditions immediately.
• Never dive into shallow water, and always exercise
caution when swimming in surf.
• Never fake drowning actions or call for help.
• Avoid digging deep holes in sand to prevent
cave-in accidents.
The ocean should be considered a potentially hazardous
environment, so always use extreme caution.
