If you’re heading out for open-water swimming, here’s how to enjoy the conditions while keeping yourself safe:

1. Check the weather and water conditions before you go

Look for forecasts on wind speed, wave height, and potential storms.

Avoid swimming if there’s lightning in the area or strong offshore winds.

2. Dress for the water temperature, not just the air temperature

A sunny day can be misleading - cold water can still cause hypothermia.

Consider a wetsuit if the water is below 20 °C (68 °F).

3. Swim with a buddy or group

Not just for safety - friends also make the swim more fun.

Let someone on shore know your route and expected return time.

4. Use visibility aids

A brightly coloured swim cap or tow float helps boats and lifeguards spot you.

5. Know your limits

Open water currents, waves, and fatigue can catch you off guard.

Head back to shore before you get tired, not after.

6. Stay alert to changing conditions

Clouds rolling in, winds shifting, or water turning choppier? Time to re-evaluate.

Think of it like enjoying a picnic - you can relax and take in the sunshine, but you still keep an eye on the ants.
