Key Safety Tips for Swimming in the Sea or Pool
- Check the swimming conditions and flag colors at the beach. Absence of a flag means no supervision or information on conditions.
- Ensure you’re in good physical health before swimming. If you’re feeling unwell, avoid swimming.
- Don’t venture too far from shore; always remember you need to return. Avoid pushing your limits to impress others—your safety is the priority.
- Inform friends or family where you’re swimming so they can keep an eye on you.
- Supervise children closely and try to swim with them.
- Note that buoys and inflatable objects don’t prevent drowning and can easily capsize.
- Don’t swim after consuming alcohol or taking medication that causes drowsiness.
- Be cautious of waves and strong currents to prevent fatigue. If you face problems, float on your back and call for help.
- Discourage running or playing around the pool to prevent falls and injuries.
- Have a pole or buoy nearby to quickly address any issues.
- Remove all toys from the pool after swimming to avoid attracting children back into the water.
