Swim Safety

Hey just a reminder of one of the important safety points we've covered before about swimming at Rosses Point. There are dangerous currrents due to the channel to the left of the swimming pool as you look at it from the car park.

It's sign posted and a known hazard so be careful around this area particularly during big tides. There's no need to swim to the pool unless you're very familiar with it, just as good to swing a left at the middle of the first beach, just go further down the beach to make the difference in distance. Don't ever swim alone and let someone at home know your plans.

If you ever get stuck in a rip/current don't fight it and swim against it, swim at right angles to the direction of flow and you'll quickly be out of it. If you need assistance the international signal for help is a straight raised arm with a closed fist, not waving.
