If you live in Marina del Rey, chances are you will be in the water at some point during the summer. I mean, isn’t that the exact reason you decided to rent a Marina del Rey apartment in the first place? If the next few months will involve swimming in a pool or the open ocean, you need to be prepared. Here are a few safety tips to think about when swimming in Marina del Rey.
Have a partner: never go swimming or into the ocean alone. Have a partner or someone to supervisor from outside the water. Even if you are an expert swimmer accidents can happen, so be sure to have a safety net.
Know the signs of drowning: drowning does not typically look like what we see in TV or the movies. A person drowning usually cannot scream for help or wave their hands to grab your attention.
Check your phone: it is always a good idea to have a phone nearby, just in case of an emergency. However, take the extra step to be sure it is charged and gets reception in the area where you will be swimming.
