Swimming safety tips
01:00 AM EDT on Friday, July 4, 2008
• Never swim alone.
• Stay at least 100 feet from piers and jetties. Permanent rip currents often exist along these structures.
• Learn to swim in the surf. It’s different from swimming in a pool or lake.
• Wear polarized sunglasses at the beach. They will help you spot rip currents by cutting down glare off the ocean’s surface.
• Always obey instructions and orders from lifeguards.
