General Advice
• Always swim close to the beach in line with the shore.
• Do not drink and drown - eating and drinking before swimming may give you cramps while you are in the water – you may then be unable to get back to the shore.
• Drinking Alcohol and going in the sea is dangerous, it slows your reactions, increase chances of hypothermia and your judgment of distance will be impaired
• Check the weather and tides before you leave home.
• Always wear sun cream, at least factor 15 or above, sunbathe for short periods of time, use after tan lotion and wear loose clothing that covers your arms and legs to prevent further exposure.
• Keep young children within your sight at all times.
