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.

"Holiday Money" to read the holiday article in full.
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.

27. Find a low-cost insurance policy online
Your travel agent - online or High Street - will try to flog you insurance. Just
say no. Go online or talk to a broker and you'll find single-trip European
policies for less than £10 per person. If you're going away more than once in
the year, consider an annual policy. Just make sure you understand what you need
and read the small print. Tip: single-trip policies cover you for cancellation
as soon as you take out the policy even if your travel dates are months ahead.
This is not the case for annual policies, which start from the day you take
28. Shop around for your European breakdown cover
We've all heard of the AA and RAC but it's only insurance and any number of
companies offer the same type of policies for significantly less money.
29. The packed lunch trick
If you're flying no-frills, you can pay several pounds for an in-flight sandwich
and drink or you can take your own. With some of these low-cost deals, the cost
of your food can be more expensive than the cost of your flights. There's a
principle at stake here more than just a free lunch.
30. Take the coach
According to a This is Money survey, petrol will have to reach £10 a litre
before we start leaving our cars at home in any great numbers. Until then public
transport is always going to find it hard to compete. But coaches are pretty
luxurious these days and at the time of writing, megabus.com is offering
intercity fares throughout the UK from 50p, with £1 fares available during the
Christmas holidays.

31. How to locate cheap train tickets
Since the railways were privatised, unearthing cheap train tickets can seem
impossible. But it's really quite simple. There are basically three types of
ticket. The 'cheapo', available if you book 28 days or more in advance; the
just-about-affordable if booked 14 days or more in advance; and the forget-it,
which is what you'll pay in the last week before you travel. Best is to check
individual websites for details. Tip: For peak periods at Christmas and Easter
the 'cheapo' tickets go on sale about eight or nine weeks before the respective
festive period and by 'cheapo' we mean around £25 return to cross most of the
country rising to three or four times the price if you leave it to the last
minute.
32. Don't fly on Fridays or Saturdays
Useless advice if you want to get away for a week at half-term but during the
summer or Easter if you can fly on weekdays you can save a lot of money. BA.com
has a useful fare search tool that allows you to select the cheapest day to fly.
33. It's your (holiday) money
Remember commission-free doesn't mean profit free. Shop around before exchanging
currency.
