Beach Safety Tips

April 29, 2008

 

Tell your parents where you are going. Bring your health card and ID’s with contact information in case of emergency esp in the phone.

Take a weather check before going to the beach

Don’t swim when drunk

There are no lifeguards so swim in groups and within the visibility of your friends. Never swim alone. Even good swimmers drown.

It is safer to swim at the middle of the cove than at the far left of the cove (facing the beach)

Stop swimming at the first indication of bad weather.

Make sure to always have enough energy to swim back to shore.

Don’t try to swim against a current if caught in one. Swim gradually out of the current, by swimming across it. Don’t Dive Into Unknown Water or Into Shallow Breaking Waves

Swimmers should approach the water with caution in the beginning to become familiar with the environment and know abilities and limits.

Watch out for the dangerous “too’s” – too tired, too cold, too far from safety, too much sun, too much strenuous activity. 

If caught in a rip current, swim sideways until free, don’t swim against the current’s pull

Protect your head, neck, and spine — don’t dive into unfamiliar waters — feet first, first time

Set water safety rules for the whole group based on swimming abilities (for example, inexperienced swimmers should stay in water less than chest deep).

Be knowledgeable of the water environment you are in and its potential hazards, such as deep and shallow areas, currents, depth changes, obstructions and where the entry and exit points are located. The more informed you are, the more aware you will be of hazards and safe practices. 

Wear life vest and have a floating device around just in case. 

Never turn your back to the ocean — you may be swept off coastal bluffs or tide pool areas and into the water by waves that can come without warning

 

In case somebody got drowned already, give cpr and get a boat promptly. bring him sideways so he cud spit the water out, holding his neck and touchinghis stomach.. boat back to pundaquit is 15min plus time to get  vehicle to san marcelino hospital which is 30min away.

Thanks for the tips.

er do you have anything on sea creatures? Like jellyfish attacks, or what to do if you step on corrals or a crab grabs you, etc?

Peace.
