 WSI Surf Lifesaving Awards

The aim of these awards is to promote an awareness of safe behaviour in the outdoor environment and to teach the skills needed by the modern lifeguard on our beaches.

The core skills of the sport of lifesaving are also introduced during these awards. 

The Awards will be delivered in White Strand Miltown Malbay & Spanish Point by a Water Safety Ireland Instructor who is also a Surf Lifesaving Coach. They will be advertised in the coming days.
