(This is actually a pic of Jennings Beach in Fairfield, CT - USA - I use to swim here every weekend with my family! Ahhh...the good ol' days!)With all the beaches In Kuwait, you would think the government would employ lifeguards. Every other week there is a new case of someone drowning. I mean, it's common sense right?
We went to the beach near Ray's One last night and the beach there was full of swimmers...at night! There were little kids jumping into the water while their parents smoked the hubbly bubbly and chatted. Any one of those kids could have drowned in an instant.
In the US, the beaches are closed at night. And violaters are fined. I doubt Kuwait has the manpower to enforce its' beaches but they should at least have lifeguards on them. Ugh!
Hmmmmmmmm...........maybe they could get some poor expatriates and train them how to swim for like 2 KD a month! Ugh!

There are signs at Rays One Beach indicating that it is not safe to swim there. I'd suggest you follow them. There are nasty rips and currents there at high tide and it's full of rocks on the bottom.
Additionally, it is not the responsbility of the State of Kuwait to police up peoples crumbsnatchers. That's what parents are for.
i was at jenning today...beautiful.....80's and sunny.....stay safe!
