Enjoy the beautiful weather but please remember the following practical hints:

	1 – If you can’t swim, don’t go into the water deeper than your knees
	2 – Never swim in the vicinity of rip currents (currents that pull out to sea)
	3 – Never swim alone. Even the strongest swimmer can get into difficulties, for instance because of cramp
	4 – Don’t use any floating devices when there is an offshore wind (wind that blows out to sea)
	5 – Alcohol and swimming don’t mix. You could lose your life
	6 – Always keep an eye on the children, both in the water and on the beach. When in the water, stay within an arm’s length from small children
	7 – Don’t dig deep holes on the beach (danger of collapse and suffocation)
	8 – Drink plenty of water
	9 – Use plenty of sunscreen and make sure you have a place to sit in the shade, f.i. by bringing a parasol
	10 – Mind the warning flags (yellow = swimming is dangerous, red = swimming is prohibited)
