🌊 When swimming always remember to watch out for rip currents 🌊

If you’re caught in a rip current:
✅ Tilt your head, float on your back and stay calm ⭐
✅ Swim parallel to the shore to escape. ➡️
✅Raise your hand and call for help if needed ✋

Sighting 👀

Day 2 Open water.
Swimming in open water is a whole different experience to swimming in a pool — one of the biggest challenges... not being able to see where you're going! ❌ 👀

That’s where sighting comes in.

Sighting is the technique swimmers use to lift their eyes just above the surface to spot landmarks or buoys — helping them stay on course and swim safely. 🌅
