What Parents and Kids Can Do to Stay Safe at San Diego’s Beaches
San Diego has 60 miles of coastline where the Pacific Ocean meets the sand.
Millions of guests visit the County’s beaches each year for a day (or two) of sun and fun.
To ensure the safety of your children on the beach and in the water, here are 10 tips for parents to know about and discuss with their children as they get prepared to have fun at the beach:
1. Know how to swim before attempting to navigate the ocean
• Parents should enroll children in swimming classes prior to vacation. For example, Murray Callan Swim Schools in Carlsbad/San Marcos and Pacific Beach have taught over 100,000 local youngsters how to swim during their 60-year history.
2. Swim near a lifeguard
• Be safe! Lifeguards are experts whose job is saving lives. Unless you, too, are an expert, swim near a lifeguard.
3. Never swim alone
• Buddy-up with a partner and watch out for each other—especially when there’s no lifeguard on duty.
4. Obey posted signs
• Signs and flags alert you to ocean safety conditions. Always know where you are and the obstacles in that part of the ocean.
5. Don’t turn your back on the ocean
• Always face forward, especially during high tide. Getting caught in a powerful undercurrent or knocked over by a wave is a by-product of ocean swimming.
6. Know how to get away from rip currents.
• Most lifeguard rescues are a result of the powerful pull of the ocean waves toward deeper water. To get out of a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. Then, swim safely back to the beach.
7. Don’t dive into the ocean
• The leading cause of head and neck injuries is a result of people diving into the ocean. Diving head first into the ocean is a surefire way to get smacked around by waves.
8. Use sunscreen
• Sunscreen protects you from sunburn and skin cancer. Always re-apply after swimming in the water.
9. Watch your feet
• Flip flops and sandals protect the soles of your feet from heat, broken glass and trash. Walking barefoot is asking for a potential foot injury.
10. Avoid drinking and drugging
• Alcohol and drugs impair your judgment and increase your risk for injury. Alcohol plays a role in drowning because it lowers your body temperature and weakens your swimming ability.
Here’s hoping these ten tips find their way into your beach vacation plans!
