Beach Safety Hints

Swim between the red and yellow flags.

Read and obey all warning signs.

If you are unsure of the conditions, ask a surf lifesaver.

If you can’t see a lifesaver, don’t go in the water if you are uncertain.

Never swim alone.

Always swim under supervision if inexperienced in surf conditions.

If you get into difficulty, stay calm, float. and raise one arm until help arrives.

Never run and dive into the water, even if you checked conditions earlier.

Wave and tide conditions can change quickly. Use 15+ sunscreen and wear a shirt and hat.

Remember to reapply sunscreen after swimming.

Learn how to spot a rip and keep clear of it. A rip can be recognised by sandy coloured or rippled water running out to sea when the water on either side is generally cleaner.The waves may also be larger and breaking further out to sea on both sides of the rip.

Don’t swim under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Keep the beach clean, put your rubbish in a bin, and keep off the dunes. They are there to preserve the beach environment.
