Life savers talk about beach safety

Pretty Beach Public School students have been visited by volunteers from Surf Live Saving Central Coast to talk about beach safety.

"Students participated in activities designed to teach them the correct thing to do when swimming at the beach," said principal Ms Deborah Callendar.

"Students learnt they must always swim between the red and yellow flags, that rips are not easy to spot sometimes and how to react if they find themselves stuck in a rip.

"Students were taught the importance of remaining calm in situations where they feel they are in trouble and were also instructed on the best way to signal for help.

"This was a great refresher on how to be safe at the beach as the weather starts to warm up," Ms Callendar said.
