🔺 For those unfamiliar with the sea... 🌊
Here's a simple but life-saving explanation!
⚠️ WARNING SIGNS
When you see the sea rough and the waves appear split in two like in the photo, do NOT swim! 🚫⚠️
👉 This is caused by rip currents (often just called "the current").
🔺 THE DANGER
If the current pulls you out to sea, getting back to shore will be extremely difficult.
💡 THE SOLUTION - HOW TO ESCAPE A RIP CURRENT
1. 🚫 DON'T Fight the Current Directly
Never try to swim straight back to shore - you'll exhaust yourself!
2. ↔️ Swim Parallel to the Shore
Swim sideways along the beach until you escape the current's pull
3. ↗️ Swim Diagonally to Shore
Once free from the current, swim at an angle back to the beach
4. 🆘 If You Can't Swim
Float on your back and wave for help - conserve your energy!
🛡️ PREVENTION TIPS
- 👀 Observe the sea before entering the water
- 🏊♂️ Swim near lifeguards when possible
- 👥 Never swim alone - use the buddy system

🔺 Before setting up your chair and umbrella, take a moment to observe the sea — what you notice could save your life. 👀👌
Remember: The sea is beautiful but powerful. Respect it, understand it, and enjoy it safely! 🌊✨
