Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeguards in Pembrokeshire had a busy day last Tuesday.

At Saundersfoot, lifeguards attended to a five-year-old girl at the car park near the beach when the young girl lost consciousness. Lifeguards were first on scene to attend to the young girl and gave first aid and oxygen until paramedics and an ambulance arrived.

On the same day, lifeguards at Castle Beach, Tenby, had to rescue seven people who had got into difficulties in the rip current between the beach and St. Catherine's Island at high tide.

Their colleagues on nearby South Beach also had to attend to seven incidents on the same day with the rescue of five people who were in inflatables drifting out to sea and the lifeguards also assisted in finding two missing children.

Lifeguards on Tenby's North Beach also helped find two missing children on the same day.

South Pembrokeshire area lifeguard supervisor, Adam Pitman, said of the day's activity: "Tenby beaches were particularly busy and when you get a particularly high tide at Castle Beach, it can cause a large current between the beach and St. Catherine's Island, which in turn creates a very narrow area in which it is safe to swim.

"We advise bathers to always swim at a lifeguarded beach between the red and yellow flags and we are always on hand to give advice about bathing conditions at the beach.

"We want people to have an enjoyable day at the beach and remember their day out for all the right reasons."
