RNLI Lifeguard Supervisor for Pembrokeshire, Peter Rooney is reminding families of the importance of staying calm and to float if they get into difficulties on the coast.

He said: “If you get into trouble in the water, try not to panic and remember to ‘Float to Live:’ lean back, using your arms and legs to stay afloat. Control your breathing, then call for help or swim to safety.” 

“RNLI lifeguards play a vital role in keeping beach visitors safe, but they can’t be everywhere. 

“This is why we’re asking people to come prepared before you head to the beach; before the start of your day, take a few minutes to check local information such as tide times and the weather. 

“If possible, visit a lifeguarded beach and if entering the water always stay between the red and yellow flags - this is the area that’s carefully monitored by the RNLI lifeguards throughout the day.

“If you see someone else in trouble, as hard as it may be, never attempt the rescue yourself – alert a lifeguard or call 999 and ask for the coastguard.”
