Donegal Lifeguard
recruitment
26.02.25
APPLICATIONS are now open
for those wishing to join the team of Donegal Lifeguards
for the 2025 summer bathing season.
Lifeguards are trained to supervise public bathing
areas, prevent minor or major incidents occurring and
are able to render first aid when needed.
Lifeguards bring excellent personal qualities to the
role such as being responsible, physically fit, strong
swimmers, mature, observant and committed. They have
fantastic skills not just in their swimming ability but
also in their communication skills, interpersonal
skills, rescue skills, first aid and CPR skills and the
use of a wide variety of rescue equipment. |
 |
A typical day for our
Lifeguards would begin with first checking on the
conditions at their beach, setting up their patrol zones
and ensuring that the correct flags are flown. Yellow
flag meaning Lifeguards on duty, and it is safe to swim
or Red flag meaning Lifeguards are on duty however it is
unsafe to enter bathing area.
Last season Donegal Lifeguards did a stellar job of
being proactive and reducing the need for rescues
however there were a total of five incidents where they
needed to carry out rescues.
