Happy 18th Birthday to our amazing teacher Dearbhala 🥳💚💙

Dearbhala has been part of Curran Lifesaving School since she was just 10 years old, progressing through our programmes from Rookie Lifeguard all the way to becoming one of our fantastic teachers 🌊👏

Over the years we’ve watched her grow into such a confident, caring and hardworking young person who is brilliant with all of our young lifesavers. She is a fantastic role model to so many children in our classes and we are so proud of everything she has achieved ❤️

☀️🌊 WATER SAFETY REMINDER 🌊☀️
Before you dive into summer adventures, remember: safety in the water saves lives. Whether you’re paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, or heading to the beach — preparation matters.

💧 PREPARE
✔️ Check water temperatures
✔️ Wear appropriate clothing
✔️ Always use a buoyancy aid/life jacket
✔️ Keep your phone in a waterproof pouch

🛟 RESPOND
If you unexpectedly fall into cold water:
➡️ Don’t panic
➡️ Float on your back
➡️ Focus on controlling your breathing
➡️ Stay calm until you can recover safely

🔥 RECOVER
✔️ Get out of the water safely
✔️ Change into warm, dry clothes
✔️ Warm up gradually
✔️ Seek medical attention if needed

Always remember ‘Float to live’
