Babar's Story
Originally from Pakistan, Babar and his family love spending time at the beach and enjoying the sunshine and waves.
What can we learn from Babar's story?
#1
Research before you leave home
Beach safety starts at home. We can all research the beach and ocean conditions before we even leave home by using an app like Beachsafe.
#2
Pack for a safe day
Making sure we have all the right things to keep us safe both in and out of the water.
#3
Look for the flags.
By swimming between the flags we can make sure that someone will be there to help us if we get into trouble.
#4
Always watch your children
Even children who are good swimmers can find themselves in trouble at the beach. Always stay close and observe your children.
#5
Know your abilities
Understanding your own ability in the water is vital to staying safe. Make an effort to learn to swim, learn to float and learn to survive.
#6
Enjoy the beach life
We can all spend time at the beach and it is a wonderful place to enjoy time with our family and friends.
