Stay alert and keep an ear open for regular public safety announcements made by patrolling lifesavers.
Keep a very close eye on children while on the beach and do not allow them to venture into the waters unattended, no matter how shallow they may be.
If under the influence of alcohol, make sure you do not venture into the water.
Always read and obey the safety signs found at the main entrance of the beach.
Always swim in the safe swim zones marked with coded flags out by lifesavers. While on the beach find the red and yellow flags and always swim between them. This area is watched by lifesavers. Do not venture into the no-swim zones marked with red flags.
It is best to visit the beach when the lifesavers are on duty between 7:00 am and sunset.
Avoid swimming alone. If you get into trouble, stick your hand in the air and shout for help.
If a child goes missing, do not panic. Alert a lifesaver immediately.
If you encounter a rip current while swimming, it is best to stay afloat and alert the lifesaver on duty. The lifesavers are constantly monitoring the beach and are trained to identify and monitor rip tides.
Do not attempt to rescue if you see anyone in difficulty if you are not a trained lifesaver. If you are on a beach with lifesavers, contact the nearest lifesaver or approach the lifesaving tower.
People should avoid taking selfies near rocky/slippery areas.
