OCEAN SAFETY TIPS

Learn to swim - The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim--this includes adults and children. The American Red Cross has swimming courses for people of any age and swimming ability. Contact your local Red Cross chapter for information on courses

Stay within the designated swimming area - ideally within the visibility of a lifeguard

Never swim alone

Check the surf conditions before you enter the water- Check to see if a warning flag is up or check with a lifeguard for water conditions, beach conditions, or any potential hazards

Stay away from piers, pilings, and diving platforms when in the water

Keep a lookout for aquatic life - Water plants and animals may be dangerous. Avoid patches of plants. Leave animals alone

Make sure you always have enough energy to swim back to shore

Don’t try to swim against a current if caught in one - Swim gradually out of the current, by swimming across it

BEACH SAFETY TIPS

Protect your skin - Sunlight contains two kinds of UV rays -- UVA increases the risk of skin cancer, skin aging, and other skin diseases. UVB causes sunburn and can lead to skin cancer. Limit the amount of direct sunlight you receive between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and wear a sunscreen with a sun protection factor containing a high rating such as 15

Drink plenty of water regularly and often even if you do not feel thirsty - Your body needs water to keep cool. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them. They can make you feel good briefly but make the heat's effects on your body worse. This is especially true with beer, which dehydrates the body

Watch for signs of heat stroke - Heat stroke is life-threatening. The victim's temperature control system, which produces sweating to cool the body, stops working. The body temperature can rise so high that brain damage and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly. Signals include hot, red, and dry skin; changes in consciousness, rapid, weak pulse, and rapid, shallow breathing. Call 9-1-1 or your local EMS number. Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the body by wrapping wet sheets around the body and fan it. If you have ice packs or cold packs, place them on each of the victim's wrists and ankles, in the armpits and on the neck to cool the large blood vessels. Watch for signals of breathing problems and make sure the airway is clear. Keep the person lying down

Wear eye protection - Sunglasses are like sunscreen for your eyes and protect against damage that can occur from UV rays. Be sure to wear sunglasses with labels that indicate that they absorb at least 90 percent of UV sunlight

Wear foot protection - Many times, people's feet can get burned from the sand or cut from glass in the sand
