Some other countries has 'swim between the flags' which could have caused confusion with the red do not swim here flag

Also here: some areas 'do not swim', others 'swim between the flags'.

 

Swimming in riptides at no swimming areas is not a good idea.

Most countries have swim between the flags but non of those flags are red with a circle and slash through a swimmer with the words "No swimming here" in 4 different languages. It's not at all confusing, just dumb people with the brains of a dead kangaroo.

I lost count a long while ago of the amount of times I've seen stupid people warned 2 or 3 times by the LGs to move to a safer area.
