LIFEGUARDS will be on duty on all Blue Flag Beaches in Kerry at weekends commencing from this Bank Holiday Weekend, increasing to seven days per week on all of those beaches from the beginning of July.
Beachgoers are reminded that lifeguards are only on duty during specific times which are advised locally on each Blue Flag beach and that lifeguards cover only designated patrolled areas which are indicated by the presence of lifeguard flags.
The 41 lifeguards, who are fully trained, will be on duty on Kerry beaches over the summer. Kerry County Council is reminding all beachgoers and those swimming and bathing at the county’s beaches this summer to act responsibly and safely in the water at all times.
