I am sure we are all happy that the RNLI Lifeguard Stations at Pelham Beach and Marina St Leonards Beach are both returning to service from today until the end of the School Half-Term week (RNLI). We are reminded that the temperature of the water is still VERY cold, and more information can be found at the RNLI website, including the following 5 safety tips, which are cut & pasted below from that site:
"1. Swim at a lifeguarded beach, between the red and yellow flags
2. Never use inflatables in strong winds or rough seas
3. Check tide times before you go
4. If you get into trouble, stick your hand in the air and shout for help
5. If you see someone else in trouble, tell a lifeguard as soon as you can. If you can't see a lifeguard, call 999 or 112 immediately and ask for the Coastguard."
Whatever, stay safe folks!
