Surf Life Saving South Australia is urging swimmers to ‘draw a line’ in the sand and think about any risks and dangers before entering the water over the holiday period.

The new public safety campaign features Australians who have previously been caught in rips, and those who lost loved ones to rips, talking about their experiences.

“Our message to beachgoers is, please stop before you enter the water, have a look and a think about what hazards might be a risk where you are and make a mental note of your plan to get help or respond if you do get in trouble. Of course we always recommend you also swim between the red and yellow flags, it is the area supervised by surf lifesavers and lifeguards who can assist you should something go wrong,” said Surf Life Saving SA Spokesperson, Melissa Davis-Bishop.
