Stay in groups and don’t wander too far from shore
Avoid swimming at dawn or dusk or in areas with a lot of fishing
Limit splashing and don’t make sudden or erratic movements
Don’t wear shiny jewelry or enter the ocean if you have an open cut (or are bleeding at all)
Build sandcastles and sunbathe on land.
