Swimming is the most popular thing to do at Perth beaches. There are those who swim to cool off. Some do long distance swimming for sustained exercise while others swim to catch a wave or get involved in surf club swimming competions. For safety is wise to swim between the yellow and red flags. If not, you'd better be a good swimmer and swim with friends. Rips (undertows) are prevelent at Perth beaches. Most Perthite are aware of rips and can see the plumes of light coloured sand stirred up strong rip currents.
