At Aloha Beach Camp, safety always comes first, especially when it comes to water activities. The beach offers endless opportunities for fun, but it's crucial to stay safe in and around the water. Whether you're a seasoned beachgoer or a first-time camper, these ten water safety tips will ensure your beach camp experience is not only exciting but also secure.

1. Swim with Your Camp Counselors: Always stay close to your camp counselors when in the water. They are there to watch over you and ensure your safety.

2. Buddy Up: Never swim alone. Always have a buddy with you, and keep an eye out for each other while in the water.

3. Learn to Identify Rip Currents: Educate yourself about rip currents, and remember that your camp counselors will also provide guidance on how to recognize and respond to them.

4. Follow Beach Flags: Pay attention to warning flags, and remember that your camp counselors will inform you about beach flag meanings and what to do in different conditions.

5. Respect Your Limits: Know your swimming abilities and stay within your comfort zone. Your camp counselors will ensure that beach activities are suitable for your skill level.

6. Sun Protection: Your camp counselors will remind and assist you with applying sunscreen with high SPF, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-protective sunglasses to shield yourself from the sun's rays.

7. Hydration and Nutrition: Stay hydrated throughout the day, and your camp counselors will encourage you to drink water regularly and provide healthy snacks to keep your energy levels up.

8. Be Aware of Wildlife: Your camp counselors will educate you about respecting marine life from a safe distance and will guide you on how to be cautious around potential hazards like jellyfish.

9. Emergency Preparedness: Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, and know that your camp counselors are trained to handle unexpected situations. Always have a plan in case of emergencies.
​
10. Listen to Camp Counselors: Your camp counselors are there to provide instructions and guidance. Pay attention to their advice and follow their lead when it comes to water safety.
