Check out these helpful water safety videos for now, and we hope you can join us for the next beach safety event.
Next time you are at the beach, remember to:
- Swim between the red and yellow flags – This area is patrolled by lifeguards and is the safest place to swim.
- Never swim alone – Always swim with a friend or in view of others.
- Check beach signs and warnings – They tell you about dangerous currents, jellyfish, or water quality.
- Know your limits – If you're not a confident swimmer, stay in shallow water.
- Protect yourself from the sun – Wear sunscreen, a hat, and drink lots of water.
