Know your water limits before you take a dip in the sea.
Wales is world-famous for its breathtaking coastline, and powerful waves are a big part of what makes it so special.
But it’s important to respect the water, as waves can easily knock you off your feet. Be aware of rips, which are strong currents running out to sea. Did you know a rip current can move at 4.5 mph? That’s faster than an Olympic swimmer! When the sea conditions are rough, enjoy the power of the water and waves from a safe and respectful distance.
Respect the sea: If you’re caught in a rip current, don’t panic or try to swim against it. If you can, stand and wade. If you can’t stand, swim parallel to the shore, raise your hand and shout for help.
Consider the forecast and the gear you'll need for your adventure by the sea.
No matter what the weather is like, the Welsh coastline always looks like it’s begging for an adventure. But even if it’s sunny out, the water around the coast is always much colder than it looks. If you’re planning on enjoying the water, make sure to check the sea and weather conditions – including water temperature – before heading out.
Wear a wetsuit that is appropriate for the temperature and type of activity you’re doing, and don’t forget to wear a lifejacket or buoyancy aid. You can find lots of useful advice on what gear you need on the Adventure Smart website.
If you fall into cold water unexpectedly, it’s best to relax and float on your back to catch your breath. Once the cold water shock has passed, call for help, find something buoyant to hold on to, or swim for safety if you’re able to. Visit the RNLI respect the water page to find out more.
