STAY SAFE BY THE SEA THIS SUMMER ~~~~~~~~~~~
Following key safety advice
will keep people safe and help to reduce the demands placed on RNLI
lifeboat crews, HM Coastguard and other emergency services.
That is
why parents are now being urged to take charge and be ‘beach smart’ if
they visit the coast to ensure they and their families have the safest
summer possible, whether lifeguards are patrolling their beach or not.
Claire Hughes, director of HM Coastguard said:
‘We
know from sad experience that whether you’re local or nor, whatever your
ability of experience in your chosen sport or leisure activity, the sea
can still catch you out and be unmerciful when it does. Now, more than
ever we need people to respect the sea and the coast.
‘If
you get into trouble call 999 and ask for the Coastguard and we will come
to your aid. But coronavirus hasn’t gone away, and we all need to follow
the rules. Remember your choices might put people, including yourself and
frontline responders, at risk. Take extra care in these extraordinary
times.’
This summer with beach
lifeguard patrols significantly reduced the RNLI and HM Coastguard are
advising the public not to use inflatables at all and for everyone,
especially parents, planning
a visit to a beach or the coast to follow this
safety advice:
·
Have a plan - check the weather forecast, tide times and read local hazard
signage
·
Keep a close eye on your family – on the beach and in the water
·
Don’t allow your family to swim alone
·
Don’t use inflatables
·If you fall into the
water unexpectedly, FLOAT TO LIVE. Fight your instinct to thrash around:
lean back, extend your arms and legs, and Float
In an emergency dial 999, and ask for the Coastguard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't get cut off by the tide
Nick Marks, Lifeboat Operations Manager said
“We would encourage any visitor to the area to check tide times before
walking along the beach, either Lyme Regis Tourist Information Centre or
Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre. It is very important to check.”
If you see anyone in trouble in the sea,
call 999 and ask for the coastguard.

ROTARY STILL IN ACTION
This month although still in lockdown the Rotary Club of
Lyme Regis is still meeting regularly via a video sharing
app. This has worked very successfully in allowing us to
carry on with our club activities but also keeping in visual
touch with other members and associates.
These are unprecedented times that we all find ourselves in
and we must all contribute where we can.
This month the Rotary Club have decided to support a number
of very worthwhile causes.
