Make sure to continuously swim within your abilities, never swim alone and swim near a lifeguard.
Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue brought 15 people to shore on Sunday and on Saturday lifeguards rescued six people. This is a testament to how dangerous the conditions are right now.
The majority of all of the lives saved were people overestimating their ability to swim in the ocean, according to Jacksonville Beach Ocean Rescue.Make sure to continuously swim within your abilities, never swim alone, and swim near a lifeguard.If trapped in a rip current, swim parallel to shore and don’t panic.
Also, listen to the advice of the local beach patrol and pay attention to the flag warning system. Each color represents how safe or dangerous water conditions are at that moment. A green flag means calm ocean conditions, a yellow flag is moderate ocean conditions, and a red flag is dangerous ocean conditions. A double red flag means no water activity is allowed.Try to minimize sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., seek shade, cover up, wear a hat and sunglasses, and of course use sunscreen.Copyright 2023 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
