DO'S and DON'T'S for Seabathers

DO bathe within areas patrolled by lifeguards, if possible and pay attention to their advice.
DO take notice of the two red and yellow flags and only bathe between them in the patrolled area.
DO keep a constant eye on the children and others of the family who cannot swim very well. Even quite shallow pools can be dangerous.

DON'T bathe in areas marked by black and white chequered flags. These are ONLY for Malibu boards and canoes.
DON'T allow your family to use inflatables in the water except under strict supervision.
These can be carried away by the wind or currents and are VERY DANGEROUS.
DON'T bathe directly after a meal or for at least one hour each side of low tide.
DON'T ENTER THE WATER WHEN THE RED FLAG IS FLYING
If you see anyone in danger alert the lifeguard at once or use the RED emergency telephone.

WE WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY
