The RNLI is still on the hunt for budding lifeguards in county Down in preparation for keeping beachgoers safe this summer.
The charity’s lifeguards not only rescue those in difficulty in the water, they also provide vital beach first-aid and safety advice to ensure visitors can return home safely.
Last summer, RNLI lifeguards in Northern Ireland saved 13 lives, aided over 450 people and responded to over 300 incidents in county Down and along the Causeway coast.
