If you are going afloat on a board or a boat always wear a suitable
lifejacket or bouyancy aid.
- Make sure you ask the adult you are with to check you have the
right safety gear
- If you're going
to try surfing we recommend you visit a lifeguarded beach and have some lessons before you go out on
the water.
Lifejackets
& Buoyancy aids
Lifejackets and buoyancy aids are really important items when
having
fun in on the water. Boating or boarding is unpredictable
and if you find yourself in
the water, a lifejacket or bouyancy aid
could save your life but only if it is the right
size and type for you
and you've fitted it propoerly and know how to operate it.
Lifejackets and buoyancy aids are designed to help you stay
alive
and afloat until help arrives, and are suitable for a wide
range of activities.
