Sea Safety

I will be posting information on this blog about open water swimming around Selsey in the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime there is some very useful information on this site

and don't forget the RNLI gives very good advice on beach safety and has many lifeguards on beaches around the British coast.  Talk to people who know the waters - visit the Selsey Lifeboat Station.   

If you do get into trouble, remember - waving TWO hands in the air means you are fine and don't need assistance!!  Raise one arm and shout and remember that you may not be spotted from a boat or the shore as you disappear into the dips inbetween the waves - wear a bright red, yellow or orange hat.
