1. Go to the local pool before you go on holiday so you know your children are confident and competent in the water.
2. Choose a lifeguarded beach with a swim safe area and always watch what your children are doing.
3. Check the tides so your children don’t get stranded or caught in a rip tide.
4. And make sure your children know what to do if they get caught in a rip tide or fall into cold water.
5. Get the right kit and if possible book children a lesson with a qualified instructor.
