In this Usap Tayo episode, we remind beachgoers of essential safety tips as summer officially begins on December 1 in Australia, helping everyone enjoy the sun, sand, and surf safely.


Key Points
  • Swim Between the Red and Yellow Flags: These areas are patrolled by lifeguards and checked for hazards, ensuring quick help if needed.
  • Be Aware of Rip Currents and Hazards: Stop, look, and plan before entering the water, and know how to react if caught in a rip.
  • Swim With a Friend and Follow Lifeguard Instructions: Never swim alone, and always obey beach signs and lifeguard guidance to prevent accidents.
