Huge congratulations to Irish rowers, Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy who took home gold 🥇 in the Men’s Lightweight Double Sculls final in the Paris Olympics. You’ve inspired so many with your outstanding performance. Here’s to many more victories! 🍀💚 Throwback to the time in 2017 where Paul alongside his brother Gary kindly offered their time to give water safety advice to our members as part of Water Safety 🌊 Awareness Week. #olympics #fintanmccarthy #paulodonovan

Globally, drowning is responsible for over 235,000 lost lives each year. In many countries drowning is a leading cause of child mortality, yet drowning prevention often goes unrecognised and is under-resourced; @RNLI #job opportunity here jobs.rnli.org/vacancy/senior…

Watch the moment @howthrnli lifeboat crew rescue a yacht being blown offshore. When the crew of the yacht realised they were unable to make their way back, they did the right thing and called for help. Our crew was able to take the yacht under tow to the harbour.

⚠️ Don’t get stranded from shore. ⚠️ Before walking on an un-lifeguarded beach, ask a local how rising tides affect sandbars and currents. 🏊 Better safe than sorry. For more information visit watersafety.ie/ #watersafety #drowningprevention #ireland

As the days get longer, please ensure to report any stolen ring buoys. Much time and effort goes into inspecting and replacing ring buoy housing, ropes and buoys. Remember, a stolen ring buoy is a stolen life. For more info 👇 ringbuoys.ie/
