What should I do if I see a jellyfish while swimming at the beach?

If you spot a jellyfish, a strong option course of action is to calmly swim away from it and avoid contact. Jellyfish can be dangerous, so it's wise to stay aware of your surroundings.

• If you happen to get stung, seek help immediately from a lifeguard as they can provide the appropriate first aid and guidance. They're equipped to handle these situations and can offer advice on how to soothe the sting.

Conditions can change quickly. Obey red flags, use lifeguarded areas where available, keep children within reach and do not enter rough water simply because other people are swimming.
