    Streets Rip Awareness Demonstrations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Beachgoers will again be given a valuable lesson in surf safety during the summer holidays when surf lifesavers release fluoro dye into the surf to highlight rip current movements at various Central Coast Beaches.<\/p>\n

    Rips are currently the number one cause of coastal drowning, yet most beach goers are unaware of the dangers of rips, how to spot them and what to do if they are caught in one.<\/p>\n

    The Streets Rip Awareness Demonstration Events are part of SLSCC\u2019s strategy to improve beachgoers understanding of rips and build better community surf awareness in order to reduce coastal injuries and drowning along our coastline.<\/p>\n

    SLSCC will conduct numerous Streets Rip Awareness Demonstrations at various beaches this summer with dye being released into the water as part of the safety campaign, giving swimmers and onlookers an opportunity to develop a greater awareness of rip currents. Lifesavers will be handing out educational flyers, and will also provide rescue demonstrations and commentary as part of these events.<\/p>\n

    The dates and venues\u00a0 are as follows:<\/p>\n
