Swimming Safety tips
Whether at home or abroad, follow these basic tips for keeping safe:
- Never swim alone or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and never
dive head-first into an unfamiliar body of water.
- Check local information for details of tides, currents and pollution.
- Bilharzia, a parasitic infection of the bowel or bladder, may be
contracted by contact with infested fresh water in the tropics.
- In certain areas, fatal primary amoebic meningoencephalitis has occurred
following swimming in warm dirty water.
- Salt water is generally safer than fresh water for swimming in developing
countries. However, only pools that contain properly chlorinated water can be
considered safe from infectious diseases.
- When swimming in the sea, check out the possible existence of jellyfish,
sea urchins, coral, sea snakes, sharks and venomous fish. Human sewage and
animal faeces make some beaches no-go areas for swimming or even wading.

50 ways to save on your holidays
Richard Browning
SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take
their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even
one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling
and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station.
Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.
While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it
can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this
option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules
without breaking the bank?
Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday.

7. House swap
You may think you live in a horrid, torrid suburban time warp - but to an
American visitor your home could well the quaint historic corner of Britain that
they've been yearning for. Likewise, their 'small' tumble-down hovel will
probably feel like a mansion. Give it at try.
8. Check out the special 'anti-truancy' deals
As part of the Government's Every Lesson Counts campaign to cut down on truancy,
major holiday companies have developed special deals such as free child places
and money off for adults. Ask your school for details or contact the travel
firms - but bear in mind that many of these offers may still be cheaper
elsewhere.
9. Surf for a deal
It's one of the things the internet does best. Compare flights, create your own
holidays and book online - or use it for research then phone around the High
Street chains and haggle.

24. Book your cab in advance
Getting to and from the airport can end up being a significant additional
expenditure. In the UK minicabs are a sensible option but you must book in
advance. If you don't, and you want a taxi, the only option are the official
on-site ranks, which can cost a fortune.
25. Book your airport parking in advance
Turn up on the day and you'll very likely feel sick at the price you'll have to
pay just to park your car for a week or two. So do your research, check your
insurance or AA membership for special tie-in offers, check hotels that offer
one-night, pre-flight stays that include long-term parking, look for off-site
parking offers, or, best of all, get someone to run you there and back.
26. Cut your speed on motorways
According to the AA, driving at 80mph on the motorways instead of 70mph costs an
extra 4p a mile - or an extra litre of petrol every 20 miles. This may not sound
much but it will add an extra £80 to a 2,000-mile tour of Europe. For
lawbreakers driving at 90 or 100mph the costs are significantly higher – and you
run the risk of heavy fines.

34. Control your holiday spending without doing a thing
Did you know that most credit card providers charge up to 2.75% commission every
time you use the card abroad? A similar sting applies if you use your
debit card abroad. One exception is Nationwide, which charges no such
commission.
35 Email us your tips
There are hundreds more tips for families to cut the cost of their holidays.
Send us yours and, if they're appropriate we'll add them to the list. There's a
prize for the best one.
35. Beware the mobile phone sting
Do you know how much it will cost you to make and receive mobile phone calls
abroad? Check your contract - at up to £1.49 a minute you may want to leave the
phone at home.
36. Don't use the Heathrow Express
The return rail fare for a family of five from London Paddington to Heathrow
airport is more than £130. Using the Underground and the little-known One Day
Family Travel card will set you back around £20.
