Shining a light on the recent World Drowning Prevention Day, representatives from Water Safety Ireland’s local committee joined with Cllr Frankie Keenato reflect upon and acknowledge the occasion.

Water Safety Ireland is urging those planning a Christmas and New Year swim to get in slowly to help avoid cold shock and to get out of the water before getting too cold, to avoid hypothermia. It is also appealing to those unaccustomed to winter swimming to wear a swim cap, wetsuit and booties and to warm up fast after the short dip.
