CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â With many people vacationing during spring break from out of town, some might not know what to expect when swimming out in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Port Aransas Surf Rescue Team said the first thing you want to do when youâre about to go swimming is take a look at the Flag Warning System. Kind of like a stop light, green means itâs safe to go swimming, but if itâs red you should stay within waist deep water. They recommend avoiding going in the water during a purple flag meaning thereâs venomous creatures.
