     In America,Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort:brilliant beaches,a lively

boardwalk,plenty of restaurants and nightspots,and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids. Many

believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season,when the town is less crowded but the weather

is still mild.

     Meanwhile,some safety tips should be followed,enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach

offers.

     The number l safety tip concerns ocean safety:pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard

stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously!

Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However,

a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming

without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.

     Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else,

if one of you has a problem,the other may be able to get help,including signaling for assistance from

others.

     Don't fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches

are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity,because once surf pushes water

up the slope of a beach,gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving off

shore. If you are caught in a rip current,don't fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead,swim

parallel to shore until you feel the current relax,then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a

short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.
