What Do The Flags Mean?

Summer is here.  If you go to the beach, and you’re near a lifeguard stand, there’s a good chance you will see a flag (or two) flying when a lifeguard is on duty.  The colors of the flags are an indication of the current beach conditions, so it’s important to know what each one means.  Always swim near a lifeguard, and if you can’t swim near a lifeguard, be mindful of conditions, your skill level as a swimmer and always swim with a buddy.  A fun day at the beach is a safe day at the beach!
