Advice for swimming<br />
The visit to the beach and to the water should hopefully<br />
be a positive and safe experience! And it can be, if you<br />
follow the Danish national Bathing Tips and only go into<br />
the water, when conditions are appropriate.<br />
• Never bathe on your own<br />
• Bathe only where permitted<br />
• Stop when the water is up to your waist<br />
• Only swim parallel with the shore<br />
(never away from it)<br />
• Only dive in head first where the water is deep enough<br />
• Never swim after drinking alcohol or taking euphoriainducing<br />
substances<br />
• Come out before you get cold<br />
The North Sea can be rough and dangerous too, but if you<br />
follow this advice and do try to judge the dept, the current<br />
and the wind direction before entering the water, you can<br />
certainly go bathing. If you doubt your own judgement<br />
then ask the locals or the lifeguards, whether there is anything<br />
you need to know, before you jump into the sea.<br />
Beach Toys, boats and air mattresses are easily blown to<br />
sea and they can be the start of a rescue action if other<br />
people discover them and think that people are involved.<br />
Never call HELP for fun and avoid dangerous games in<br />
the water, such as pushing others, dunking each other in<br />
the water, competing to see who can hold their breath the<br />
longest or similar.<br />
Keep an eye on children – in the water as well as on the<br />
beach.<br />
You can choose to go swimming where the life-guards<br />
are, that is at the beach south in Hvide Sande and on<br />
the beach in Søndervig just down from Badevej. The lifeguards<br />
are at the beaches in the weeks 26-33, from the<br />
24.th of june to the 16.th of august.2013.
