I'm planning a trip to the beach this summer. Do you have any tips on how to stay safe while in the water?

My top tip for staying safe in the water is to swim with a buddy and always be aware of your surroundings. Make sure to wear a life jacket at all times, even if you are just swimming in shallow water. Also, don't forget to check the weather before heading out so you can make an informed decision about whether or not it's safe to swim. Finally, never go into the ocean alone and always tell someone where you're going and when you'll return.
