Throughout the summer, and "Pay Attention to lifeguards!" ...

• Lifeguards protect beachgoers from ocean hazards, such as rip currents. TheUnited States Lifesaving Association calculates the chance of drowning at a lifeguarded beach to be 1 in 18 million: https://www.usla.org/page/safety-tips.

• Always swim near lifeguards and listen to their warnings!

• When you arrive at the beach, check with a lifeguard to determine if it is safe to swim and where to swim.

• Flags may be flown at the beach that express different hazards or designate swimming areas that may change; flags often mean different things, if you are unsure of their meanings, ask a lifeguard!

You can also learn how best to stay safe while swimming this summer via : https://bit.ly/3fd1ogq.

This award-winning summer campaign — a partnership between New York Sea Grant and the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium that began with rapid response grant in 2020 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s National Sea Grant College Program — focuses on a variety of "ocean hazards" safety tips.

Additionally, a new beach and water safety video series, created by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant and its partners, may focus on Lake Michigan, but many of the lessons shared can be applied to the other Great Lakes, including Lakes Ontario and Erie, both of which have shorelines in upstate New York: https://nyseagrant.info/beachwatersafetyseries
