beaches each year to participate in a variety of enjoyable 
outdoor activities, including swimming, fishing, body surfing,

never swim alone, always swim near a lifeguard, never drink 
alcohol before swimming, respect the power of the surf, and learn 
to swim; and

the joys and hazards associated with the aquatic environment is 
most appropriate at the commencement of the busy summer beach 
season; now, therefore, be it
