Hello! Don't miss out - the Swim and Survive March 2009 Competition has started.

Just before your trip
- check the weather conditions
- wear and carry suitable clothes for a change in weather
- arrange for someone else to come along
- ensure the boat is not overloaded
- leave word of your planned destination and time of return
- pack a PFD for everyone on the boat
- if it’s your first time out, invited along someone with experience
in local conditions
