OC Lifeguards

We’re preparing for a busy Labor Day weekend at our beaches! Hot weather and pumping surf are in the forecast — great for enjoying the sand and sun, but also a reminder to stay safe near the water.

Before you hit the water, please remember:

👮‍♂️ Check in with the lifeguard — they know current conditions, can point out any hazards, and where to swim.

🌊 Know your limits — strong surf and rip currents can surprise even experienced swimmers.

🚩 Heed the flags — conditions flags are there for your safety. Don’t ignore them.

🧴 Stay hydrated & wear sunscreen.

🕶️ Watch your kids closely — always keep an eye on little ones near the water.

🚫 No alcohol.

Let’s make it a safe and fun weekend! See you at the beach! 🌞🌴
