Greystones’ New Baewatch Crew

A getting bigger splash

raining to be fishers of men and women, Greystones’ newest wave of lifeguards got their first RLSS certs this week.

The ceremony took place up at Druids Glen, where the kids train under the watchful eye of fitness instructor and swim coach Yvonne Nixon.

This first step to becoming fully-fledged RLSS UK Rookie Lifeguards means these brave 8-to-12-year-olds are now officially dang good swimmers and have the opportunity to become guardians of our shores in the future.

Their bronze certificates involved learning water safety, rescue techniques and CPR, all in, says Yvonne, “a fun and friendly environment“.

Sold! Well done to Ruby, Clodagh, Ruadhán, Kyla, Nathan, Jess, Poppy, Elliot, Zach, Reuben, Laura, Alicia, Belle, Eoin, Jonathan, Isabella and Dan, plus all the gang up at Druids Glen.

We’ll see you down at the beach one day – but only from a distance, hopefully.
