RNLI lead lifeguard supervisor, Ted Morgan, said: "After completing their pre‑season training, our lifeguards are ready and excited to return to the beach.
"This year marks 25 years of the RNLI lifeguard service, and we’re encouraging everyone to swim between the red and yellow flags so they can enjoy the coast safely."
