River Safety
If In Doubt Stay Out
If you're at a river and you doubt it’s safe stay out e.g if you think you are going to hit something don’t risk it or you might be at a cliff that everybody else jumps off and you think you will get harmed stay out.
Know Your Limits
Know your limit don’t do things you can’t do and you need to know your limit so you don’t go overboard and get injured so stay on or under your limit. e.g if you don’t know your limit and you go to jump off a diving board and you think you can’t do it don’t do it. If you know your limit you wouldn't do and go back down to the bottom.
Be Supervised
Always go with an adult so if something happens and someone's there to help for example you might get injured in the water and someone is there to help.
Plan Your Trip
Before you go to a river plan it tell someone you're going and tell them when you get back also check the weather if it is bad or good weather.
Check Before you start
Check if it is deep enough for jumping e.g if you went to a really high cliff first go down to the bottom to see if it is deep enough if not don’t jump.
