Ocean Safety Tips from the
American Red
Cross
Learn to swim
- The best
thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around
the water is to learn to swim--this includes
adults and children. The American Red Cross has
swimming courses for people of any age and
swimming ability. Contact your local Red Cross
chapter for information on courses
Stay within the designated
swimming area
-
ideally within the visibility of a lifeguard
Never swim alone
Check the surf conditions
before you enter the water
- Check to see if a warning flag is up or check
with a lifeguard for water conditions, beach
conditions, or any potential hazards
Stay away from piers, pilings, and diving
platforms when in the water
Keep a lookout for aquatic life
- Water plants and animals may be dangerous.
Avoid patches of plants. Leave animals alone
Make sure you 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
