Royal Life Saving Summer Safety - Know the Conditions

It’s important to know the conditions.
More than one-third of all Australians who drown died more than 50km from home. Unfamiliar swimming, boating, and fishing spots increase the risk of drowning. Sandbars, rips, unpredictable currents, debris below the water surface and swiftly changing local conditions are all often well-known to locals, but harder to spot by visitors.
Stay safe by:
* Checking weather alerts before and during your trip. Conditions can change rapidly especially out on the water.
* Tell someone where you are going and when you will return
* Know your own limitations - if you’re in any doubt, stay out.
Look out for each other around the water this summer
