ml you yO- •% Tin, J f Nearly as many people are DROWNED every year as are killed in road accidents. The tragic thing is that 90% of drownings could have been prevented by a little more thought... a little more care. Swimming is grand fun and healthy sport... so swim all you want to but know where the main dangers lie and take care to avoid them ... m jj&i E m AT THE BEACH ... Not one life has been lost through drowning during the past 3 years when Surf Club patrols have been on duty ... on patrolled beaches keep within the marked areas... obey the signs.. ~it’s safer. On unpatrolled beaches take more care. Beach balls and rubber boats can be dangerous in the water—they can carry you unknowingly into difficulty—misuse can lead to tragedy... it’s as easy to swim in 5 feet of water as 50! AT THE RIVER . . . Rivers and lakes are responsible for nearly half of all drownings. Danger points are diving Into unknown pools where there are snags or submerged rocks —swimming across unknown sections of the river—there may be submerged trees or dangerous currents. Don’t rush In carelessly—the gravel may have scoured into a dangerous hole. w!m.a m IN BOATS... If you "mess about In boats” that’s fine, but DO wear a life jacket... they cost little and may save your life. Under, club rules all yachtsmen and surf club members going out on surfskis MUST wear a life jacket... if it’s good enough for experts it’s good enough for you ...
