Tip:
At the beach: Before entering the water, find out what parts of the coast are safe and which are not. Warnings are posted at some beaches. If you find no signs, request information about tides and undertows at you hotel lifeguards or surfers.
If you feel yourself being pulled out to sea, stay calm. Do not try to swim directly to the shore. Instead, swim parallel to the shore towards breaking waves and let them help you get back to the beach. |
