Mermates don't let mates make risky decisions!
Be a ledge, keep your mates from the edge
- Be a Mermate and rethink risky behaviour around water.
Stop, scan, swim
- Stay alive, look before you dive. Know the water you're in.
- Be aware of your surroundings – always check the water before you jump in.
- Make sure you know the conditions and what hazards could be lurking beneath the surface.
Don't drink and sink
- Mixing alcohol and swimming is never a good idea.
Wait for a mate
- Stay safe, not solo. Always swim with someone else – never swim alone, and definitely never swim after drinking alcohol.
000 & CPR = YAY! Death = Not Yay.
- If you or a mate are in trouble, call triple zero (000) straight away.
- Make sure you know what to do in an emergency. Learn basic first aid and CPR – it can save lives.
