THE OCEAN CODE™
Know the Code. Share the Code. Live the Code. Save Lives.
Swim Near a Lifeguard
Choose a protected, lifeguarded area and stay where a guard can see you.
Escape a Rip Current
Stay calm, float, swim parallel to shore, and signal for help.
Know Your Limits
Read conditions honestly against your own ability.
CPR on the Sand
Call 911 and start compressions when someone is not breathing normally.
Protect Head & Neck
Enter unknown water feet first; respect shorebreak, rocks, and depth changes.
Stay Clear of Cliffs
Keep away from unstable bluff bases and edges; heed closures.
Hold Your Breath & Float
Let turbulence pass; float to rest and conserve energy.
Stop the Bleed
Apply firm, continuous pressure until professional help arrives.
Respect Ocean Life
Shuffle for stingrays, give wildlife space, and leave the seafloor undisturbed.
Act Early
Drowning can be silent and fast; speak up and get help immediately.
Our Shared Mission: Safe Beaches™ transforms the wisdom of surf culture into a public safety movement teaching The Ocean Code™: ten simple behaviors that help prevent beach and ocean injuries and save lives.
