It's great fun at the beach, but do you know how to keep safe?

• Read the signs and know which flags mean it is safe to swim in the sea.
• Steer clear of the currents; these are areas of fast moving water which the sea can hide. They can be very powerful and drag you out to sea so only swim between the red and yellow flags.
• Watch out for waves, it's great fun to paddle or jump over them but they can be dangerous and drag you into the sea.
• Watch the water and keep an eye on the tides especially if you are looking in rock pools - don't get cut off by the sea!

Remember - Follow S.A.F.E. and stay safe!
