The American Red Cross offers these beach-safety tips:

• Make sure you know how to swim, and only swim when lifeguards are present.
• Anyone who isn’t an experienced swimmer, as well as young children, should wear a life jacket near water.
• Check the depth of the water before diving.
• Closely supervise seniors and young children, even in shallow water.
• Don’t bother marine life, and watch for animals and plants that may be harmful.
