Safety Tips

Growing up on Kauai, we were taught to sit on the shore to study the ocean’s wave patterns before going in. A hard thing to do for a little kid who just wants to go swimming. So before venturing out into Kauai’s water…

  1. Respect your surroundings
  2. Assess the situation before going in
  3. Be honest with yourself about your limitations
  4. Gather information about the area

 
Also, be sure to check out the daily report on Kauai’s ocean conditions.
