Lifeguards return to popular East Sussex beach for half term patrols
Patrols are being reintroduced on Camber West
Lifeguards are returning to a popular East Sussex beach as the half term begins.
Patrols are being reintroduced on Camber West, after being back up in Camber Central last month.
The RNLI will be returning for weekend patrols between the 6th June and the 12th July, before getting back into full swing for the summer season with daily watches from the 18th July.
Nelly Gallichan, Lead Lifeguard Supervisor for East Sussex, said: ‘This year we are celebrating 25 years of RNLI beach lifeguards, and our team have been training hard over the past few weeks to get ready for this milestone season.
"We’re excited to be back on the beaches – keeping people safe, offering support, and helping everyone enjoy their day.
‘As the weather gets nicer, we’re expecting plenty of beachgoers heading to the coast.
"If you’re planning a trip, please choose a lifeguarded beach and always swim between the red and yellow flags.
"If you’d like advice about the local beach environment, such as tides, sea conditions and the day’s weather, our lifeguards are always happy to help.
‘Even when the sun is shining, the water can still be very cold.
"Whatever activity you’re planning to do, please take a moment to prepare properly: always carry a means of calling for help, check the weather forecast before you head out, and read local hazard signs so you’re aware of any local risks.’
Elsewhere in East Sussex, lifeguards will return to Bexhill later in the year - from the 18th of July.
