This study aimed to explore how young adolescents are influenced by parents at the beach and how parental presence impacts both their risk perception and their self-reported risk-taking behaviour. We conducted a cross-sectional survey among pupils aged 11\u201315 years (n = 416) in a public high school in south-western France and assessed their sociodemographic characteristics, water-based recreational use, beach safety knowledge, risk perceptions, and risky behaviours. Pupils were also asked about their likelihood of entering the water outside of lifeguard-supervised areas, as well as their perception of risk, both with and without parental supervision. To analyse pupils\u2019 responses, we estimate two cumulative link mixed models with random intercepts for individuals. Two-thirds of pupils reported bathing outside supervised areas within the last 12 months. Just over half of the pupils were able to correctly define rip currents or supervised bathing areas. Our findings highlight the crucial but ambivalent influence of parents\u2019 behaviours as parental presence decreased the odds of declaring higher perceived risks and increased the odds of declaring higher willingness to enter the water. Older pupils declared lower perceived risks compared to younger ones, and males were more likely to report entering the water outside of supervised areas than females. Parents constitute the primary information source on water safety for young adolescents. Therefore, beach safety prevention messages should attempt to reach the entire family unit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daag144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,11]],"date-time":"2026-09-11T11:48:05Z","timestamp":1789127285000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Beach safety as a family affair: exploring the role of parents on young adolescents\u2019 knowledge, bathing risk perceptions, and behaviours"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2604-8937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeoffrey","family":"Dehez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ETTIS, INRAE Nouvelle Aquitaine Bordeaux , 50 avenue de Verdun Gazinet, Cestas F-33612 ,","place":["France"]},{"name":"UNSW Beach Safety Research Group, UNSW Sydney , Kensington, NSW 2052 ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert W","family":"Brander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNSW Beach Safety Research Group, UNSW Sydney , Kensington, NSW 2052 ,","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Kensington, UNSW Sydney , NSW 2052 ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy E","family":"Peden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNSW Beach Safety Research Group, UNSW Sydney , Kensington, NSW 2052 ,","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"School of Population Health, UNSW Sydney , Kensington, NSW 2052 ,","place":["Australia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandrine","family":"Lyser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ETTIS, INRAE Nouvelle Aquitaine Bordeaux , 50 avenue de Verdun Gazinet, Cestas F-33612 ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Castelle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNSW Beach Safety Research Group, UNSW Sydney , Kensington, NSW 2052 ,","place":["Australia"]},{"name":"CNRS, University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux INP, EPOC, UMR 5805 , All\u00e9e Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Pessac F-33600 ,","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1695","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-023-16671-y","article-title":"Drowning rates among children and adolescents (aged 7\u201317) in Israel during year 2008\u20132018","volume":"23","author":"Abihasira","year":"2023","journal-title":"BMC Public Health"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"112806","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2024.112806","article-title":"Adolescent risk-taking likelihood, risk perceptions, and benefit perceptions across domains","volume":"231","author":"Blankenstein","year":"2024","journal-title":"Pers Individ Dif"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/day103","article-title":"Blue care: a systematic review of blue spaces interventions for health and wellbeing","volume":"35","author":"Britton","year":"2020","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1317","DOI":"10.1007\/s11069-018-3354-4","article-title":"Surf zone hazards and injuries on beaches in SW France","volume":"93","author":"Castelle","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat Hazards"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.earscirev.2016.09.008","article-title":"Rip current types, circulation and hazard","volume":"163","author":"Castelle","year":"2016","journal-title":"Earth-Sci Rev"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daae113","article-title":"Child drowning in Indonesia: insights from parental and community perspectives and practices","volume":"39","author":"Cenderadewi","year":"2024","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B7","author":"Christensen","year":"2023"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1310","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8624.2011.01587.x","article-title":"Desire for increased autonomy and adolescents\u2019 perceptions of peer autonomy: \u201cEveryone Else Can; Why Can\u2019t I?\u201d","volume":"82","author":"Daddis","year":"2011","journal-title":"Child Dev"},{"key":"2026092721155537000_daag144-B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jort.2023.100711","article-title":"How ocean beach recreational quality fits with safety issues?
