Play it safe outside and win

We’re halfway through summer and time near the water is still high on our fun-list.  Seqwater’s dams, lakes and parks provide some of the best and most affordable swimming, boating, fishing and camping experiences in South East Queensland with almost 2.6 million visitors last year. With thousands of Queensland families, schools, sporting groups and recreation clubs escaping the Queensland heat at local lakes and dams, it’s important to remember that still water can still be risky.

While there is a serious side to safety, Seqwater also wants you to have fun. That’s why Seqwater has launched #Safey – a competition that encourages you to take a selfie while playing it safe.

You can take a #safey by yourself or in a group, but remember, you must be having fun and playing it safe for your entry to count! The better your #safey relates to the Seqwater Play it safe advice, the greater chance you have of winning a weekly GoPro Hero4 Action camera (value $299) or a fortnightly BCF gift card (value $1,000).

For some #safey inspiration check out the gallery of entries already received and remember Seqwater’s top tips for playing it safe:

1. Always wear a lifejacket when on the water.
2. Only swim in the designated swimming areas.
3. Always watch your children near the water – remember there are no lifeguards on duty.
4. Plan ahead and ensure you have sunscreen and plenty of water.
5. Carry a first aid kit and be aware of local wildlife, such as snakes.
6. Check online before you leave the house, especially bom and Seqwater’s interactive map.
