Be a Mermate and lure your mates from danger #mermates

We can all agree that one of the best things about summer is swimming. There’s nothing like a sunny beach day with your mates or going for a dip on a warm summer’s night.

Swimming is like a national pastime for Aussies, a chance for us to cool off after a hard day, hit the waves with our mates or just vibe ourselves in a brand-new bikini. It’s the perfect answer to almost every situation – hot day? Go for a swim. Long weekend? All-day beach party! Need a break from your Netflix binge? Visit your local pool (after the next episode).

In fact, the only thing swimming doesn’t go with is drinking.

Each year, dozens of Aussies are injured or die when they swig and swim. This is – honestly – ridiculous, so we’ve teamed up with Royal Life Saving WA to come up with some fun ways to tell your mates to stop being a dickhead when they’re drunk.

Reckon you can match these really Aussie ways to tell your friends not to swig and swim to their true meanings?

Bros before woes. Mates before mishaps. Put your friends first and lure them from the dangers of swigging and swimming.
