Settlement Services and Lifesaving Society are organizing an event for newcomers about Open Water Safety and how to maintain personal safety when in open water. Here is an advance: Always swim with a buddy and check the weather conditions before venturing into the water. Be aware of currents, water temperature, and depth when swimming in open water; obey signs and signals (such as flags) posted on the beach which indicate whether the water is safe to enter. Much more information for you in this session.
