RNLI lifeguards in Weymouth are celebrating 20 years of delivering their services to the coastal community - but are urging families to take note of beach safety advice as they brace themselves for a busy summer holiday season. In 2001 the RNLI piloted a beach rescue service in Weymouth, Bournemouth, Poole in Dorset, as well as in Newquay and south east Cornwall - and in the first year 20 lives were saved. It led to an official service being formed and an advancement in the equipment and training available to lifeguards. Safety literature information and warning signs were also developed for beaches so visitors know what dangers they may encounter and how to keep themselves safe.
