When you go to the beach, always know the name of the beach you are at and a landmark in case of an emergency it is important to be able to accurately describe where you are located to the 911 dispatch!
Use the oceans currents to your advantage to get out into the lineup!
Tourniquets should be applied above the wound and never on joints. Twist the crank until the bleeding stops.
Always assign someone to call 911 before entering the water!
A rip current is basically water that comes onto the beach and then is returning out to the ocean through the path of least resistance (the channel where waves aren’t breaking).
