Extreme Facts About Water Safety

In Te Ngahere Tracy came in and talk to us about how to swim safely. We learnt the five safety checks for when you go on the boat. The first check is make sure you have a life jacket, 2 check the weather, 3 make sure you have a signal device aboard your boat or attached to your life jacket, 4 let the coast guard or an adult know where you're going how many are on board and when your coming back and 5 ,make sure you have a radio and know the Coast Guard Channel which is 16. The 5 steps for when you are swimming is 1 bring an adult with you, 2 if you are a bit scared to swim where you are don’t do it, 3 check if there is a rip by throwing a stick in the water, 4 check the weather, 5 never swim alone. I found this lesson very useful and I learnt a lot from it like the coast guard channel and that you never swim alone. Here is me and my buddy’s Swim Safe DLO.\
