Enjoy the beach, keep an eye out for rips & swim between the red and yellow flags

It is important that if you use the beach, use a beach that is patrolled by lifesavers or lifeguards, find the red and yellow flags and swim between them. This indicates the directly supervised area on the beach and should you get into difficulty help will be available immediately.

If you choose to swim in an unpatrolled area, you can reduce your risk of getting into a rip current by identifying them and staying away. However, if you do get into trouble, assistance may not be immediately available. As statistics reflect, this can have significant consequences.
