Nassau County wants beachgoers to know it's 'safe to swim.' Executive Bruce Blakeman took his message to the beach Sunday, where he delivered brief remarks and tips to stay safe in the ocean before taking a dip himself.
Shark attacks and dangerous rip currents have put beachgoers at risk in recent days, as the summer season heats up and more people flock the beaches. News 4's Romney Smith reports.
"If you're gonna go in the ocean, it's good to go with a partner. Always go on a protected beach where there are lifeguards, always stay together and be conscious of your surroundings," he said."If you do those things, you will be safe." The county has beefed up its shark patrols in recent years, covering the beach from the air with helicopters and drones, as well as watercraft and beach vehicles.
Blakeman wrapped his press conference with a brief dip at Nickerson Beach, joining dozens of merry swimmers enjoying a perfect beach day.
