TO STAY SAFE AT THE BEACH, ALWAYS REMEMBER F.L.A.G.S. F Find the red and yellow flags and swim between them.Always swim where there is a lifeguard on patrol, and stay inside the area marked by the red and yellow flags. Never swim where a sign says not to, or when the red flag is flying. L Look at the safety signs.Always read and obey the safety signs – they will help you to avoid potential dangers on the beach, and to identify the safest areas for swimming. A Ask a lifeguard for advice.If in doubt, it’s always best to play it safe and ask the experts. G Get a friend to swim with you. Make sure there are other people around, because you never know when help might be needed. S Stick your hand in the air and shout for help if you get into difficulty.If you see someone else in difficulty, always tell a lifeguard – or if you can’t see one, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
