Safe boating practices are essential. When fishing, you need to be aware of changing conditions. Fence swimming pools as nearly half the children that drown under 5 years of age do so in backyard swimming pools.

Always swim between the red and yellow flags at the beach. Make sure you never swim alone and always supervise children at the beach. Check here for a list of patrolled beaches.

Water familiarisation and learn to swim classes are a vital skill for all ages, especially children. Ensure that children are directly supervised at all times. Read the pool safety checklist.
