Your Ticket to Fun in the Sun, Safely!

Swim Safely

Swim between the red and yellow flags. This is the safest area to swim, as it is patrolled by lifeguards. They can help you immediately if you are drowning.

Keep an Eye on the Condition

Check the conditions before you go in the water. If the surf is too rough, don't swim. This should be your first priority before playing with waves. Keep yourself safe and avoid swimming or surfing in rough condition.

Never swim alone

As per our trained surf life savers, you should always swim with a buddy. It is good to have someone nearby increases safety and provides assistance if needed.

Be aware of rip currents

Rip currents are powerful currents that can pull you out to sea. If you get caught in a rip current, don't panic. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current, then swim back to shore.

Don't swim after dark

It is difficult to see hazards in the water at night, and it is also harder for lifeguards to see you. So, never participate in any water-based activities after dark.

Be aware of marine creatures

Some marine creatures, such as sharks and jellyfish, can be dangerous. If you see a marine creature, stay away from it. If you get into trouble, call for help. Don't try to swim to shore if you are struggling. Wave your arms and call for help.

Rip currents can be identified by a noticeable channel of churning, discolored water. If caught in one, stay calm, swim parallel to the shore to escape its pull, and signal for help if needed.

Call for help immediately by alerting a lifeguard or dialing emergency services. Throw them a flotation device or reach out with a long object, but avoid entering the water yourself unless trained.

Supervise children closely at all times. Teach them to swim and never let them swim alone. Use appropriate flotation devices and educate them about potential beach hazards and how to recognize lifeguards.

Clear Communication for Enhanced Lifesaving Efforts

Flags

Our community uses distinct flag systems to indicate beach conditions. The red flag signifies dangerous surf or hazardous conditions, while the yellow flag indicates caution. The presence of red and yellow flags designates the safest swimming area under the watchful eyes of our lifeguards.

Whistle Blasts

Lifeguards utilise whistle blasts to capture attention and communicate important messages. Different whistle patterns convey specific warnings, such as no swimming, getting closer to shore, or potential dangers, ensuring clear and immediate communication with beachgoers.

Hand Signals

Life savers use hand signals to communicate directions, instructions, or warnings to individuals in the water. These visual cues help ensure effective communication, especially in noisy beach environments, and aid in coordinating rescue operations or conveying important safety information.
