National Trust are delighted to welcome back RNLI Lifeguards North West to help keep everyone safe.
Hereโs when you can expect to see the Lifeguards on duty at Lifeboat Road.
๐ Every day throughout the Easter holidays between 10am and 6pm.
๐ From 4 May bank holidays, half term and weekends 10am - 6pm.
๐ Everyday throughout the summer holidays from 10-6pm starting 29 June until 1st September.
@RNLI are urging anyone visiting the coast to make sure they keep themselves and their families safe by following their beach safety advice.
๐Visit a lifeguarded beach and swim between the red and yellow flags.
๐ Check the weather forecast, tide times and read local hazard signage to understand local risks.
๐ Where activities like paddle boarding or kayaking are permitted we recommend you wear a wetsuit, buoyancy aid or lifejacket and carry a means of calling for help in a waterproof pouch and keep it on you.
๐ Tell someone what you are doing, where you are going and when you expect to return.
๐ If you are going open water swimming, use a wetsuit to keep you warm, wear a bright coloured swim hat and take a tow float to store personal items including a phone for emergencies.
๐ If you fall into the water unexpectedly, FLOAT TO LIVE. Fight your instinct to thrash around, lean back, extend your arms and legs, and Float.
๐ In an emergency dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
