Drink plenty of water, non-carbonated and non-alcoholic drinks, even if you do not feel thirsty.

Stay within the designated swimming area and ideally within the visibility of a lifeguard

Never swim alone.

Be aware of rip currents. If you should get caught in a current, don't try to swim against it. Swim parallel to shore until clear of the current.

Seek shelter in case of storm. Get out of the water. Get off the beach in case of lightning.
