As the May bank holiday weekend approaches, Water Safety Ireland, the Coast Guard, and the RNLI are collectively urging the public to prioritise safety and be prepared for summer activities on or near the water. 

• Water temperatures remain cold at this time of year, so consider wearing a wetsuit to stay warm 

• Acclimatise to the water slowly 

• Wear a bright swimming cap and consider using a tow float to enhance your visibility 

• Never swim alone and always ensure your activity is monitored by a companion
