Rook pooling safety check list
Run through this list before you go rock pooling;
- Always check the tide timetable for the day you are going - in the JEP, the internet, tide books,
- Take a watch so you know when to head back
- Follow the tide out when rock pooling - you get the best fish and it's much safer
- Go with an adult
- Tell someone else where you are going and when you will be back
- Be sun safe - hat, suncream, sun glasses, T-shirt, plenty to drink
- Wear shoes with a good grip
- Don't forget your bucket and spade
- If you get into trouble do not try and swim back, shout for help and phone for the coastguard or lifeguard on 999
