00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.899
Let's talk about how to move in and out
of the water so that you're not hurt by

00:00:06.899 --> 00:00:12.570
the power of the waves. In knee to thigh deep water turn
your hips and shoulders sideways to keep

00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:17.070
your balance as you slice through the
force of the waves with one foot planted

00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:22.199
behind you to brace against the wave. In
water above your waist the safest place

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:27.330
is under and not over the whitewater of
breaking waves. Face the oncoming wave

00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:32.730
and duck, don't dive, putting your head
down and fingers in the sand below.

00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:37.800
If you are paddling, swimming, or walking
back to the beach never completely turn

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:42.360
your back on the waves. Use the same
method you used to get into the water as

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:48.740
you return to the beach. You aren't safe
until your feet are on dry sand.

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:57.120
To have fun and stay safe, always respect the
power of the ocean and be wave safe.
