Going surfing this weekend? 🏄
Always remember t:
✅ Study the waves before jumping in.
✅ Use a surf leash as this can potentially save your life.
✅Warm up and stretch your muscles as this will reduce the risk of muscle cramps.
✅ Never surf alone

When swimming or surfing this weekend, beware of rip currents. They can be difficult to spot & take you away from shore.
If caught in one, never swim against the current, swim parallel to the shore until you leave it, then swim back ashore.
See watersafety.ie for more.

Never use inflatable toys in open water. They can be quickly swept out of your depth by offshore winds and currents.
Keep your family safe this weekend and always supervise children closely.
