Reposted from woolamaislsc " With the expected warm to hot weather in the coming days we are pleading with beach goers to ensure that they are swimming at patrolled beaches between the red and yellow flags. Each day from now until Australia Day, Cowes, Smiths and Woolamai Beaches are patrolled on Phillip Island from 10am-6pm by paid Lifeguards and Volunteers. Our RWC (Jet Ski) Service will also be patrolling the Phillip Island area. Please keep yourself, your family and mates safe and do the right thing. " #knowyourlimits
