Welcome to Surf Life Saving Sunshine Coast
To enjoy your day on the beach here are some things your should remember:
Flags:
Remember to always swim between the red and yellow flags, if we can't see you - we can't save you.
The Dangers of the Sun:
Too much exposure to the sun can cause serious damage to your skin. Make sure whenever you are going in the sun that you take adequate precautions.
Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap:
Slip on a shirt (preferably a long sleeve shirt)
Slop on the sunscreen (30+ and reapply as needed)
Slap on a hat
Wrap some UV protective sunglasses around your eyes
Its also a good idea to avoid direct exposure to the sun during the hottest part of the day - between the hours of 10 am and 2 pm and try to take advantage of shade when possible.
Dehydration:
When visiting the beach and/or staying out in the sun for extended periods ensure that you drink plenty of fluid - water is best and avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks.
