Swim Safety

In Te Ngahere yesterday we had a special visitor called Tracy come in and tell us stuff about swim safety. She told us five ways we can stay safe on or off a boat. What I learnt was to wear a life jacket, check the weather, tell someone where you're going and when your coming back, put your safety first and always remember to bring a waterproof phone or radio. The thing I found hard was understanding how the flare works. What I found easy was knowing how to call in an emergency. Do you know anything about water safety? Have you ever been in a swim safety lesson? Have you ever been caught in a rip.
