As the summer season begins, it's important to remember ocean safety tips, as well as sailing and boating safety. We hope everyone has a safe summer.
After yesterday’s tragic loss in Ship Bottom, it feels like a good time for a quick Beach Safety 101 reminder.
🌊 Swim near a lifeguard whenever possible
🌊 Never swim alone
🌊 If caught in a rip current, stay calm and swim parallel to the beach until you’re out of the current, then head back to shore
🌊 If you can’t escape, float, tread water, and wave for help
🌊 Keep a close eye on children, even in shallow water
As we head into summer, a little awareness can make a big difference. Enjoy the beach, respect the water, and make sure everyone gets home safely.
Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the swimmer who lost their life yesterday, and with the first responders, lifeguards, EMTs, police officers, and everyone who assisted in the rescue efforts. 💕
