Be careful when swimming in the sea, don’t go too far away from the shore or boat if you are not a very confident swimmer and if the conditions are not good then it’s probably best not to swim too far out at all – you can easily get caught in a current or under-tow and even the strongest swimmers can get into trouble in these. Also whilst it sometimes it seems like a good idea at the time, swimming whilst drunk is not a good idea in any body of water and you can end up in real trouble if you do so in the sea.
