The beach lifeguard service will not be operational on Waterford’s Blue Flag beaches this Bank Holiday weekend.
There would usually be lifeguards at the two strands in Dunmore East, at Tramore, Clonea and Ardmore in time for the June Bank Holiday.
Waterford Council is appealing to people to exercise caution if they're taking to the water.
Ivan Grimes is a Director of Service. He says for the rest of June there will be lifeguards on duty at the weekends only.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the recruitment of beach lifeguards was delayed this year.
Swimmers should follow the advice of Water Safety Ireland and stay safe.
Weekend lifeguard cover will commence at the following locations on Saturday, 6th June, 2020 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Ardmore, Clonea, Dunmore East and Tramore.
A full lifeguard service will commence at all of these locations together with Bonmahon on Saturday, 27th June 2020 , 7 days per week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
