Open-water basics
Never swim alone — join a group and let someone know your plan. Know your limits, acclimatise slowly, and get out before you're cold.
Check tides, wind and water quality on this site before you go, and always wear a bright hat and tow float. If in doubt, don't go out.
In an emergency call 112 / 999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
