Both kids and adults. Live beside the sea but the risks people take are mad, it’s might sound funny but the amount of people that don’t know the tide comes in and out would surprise you! Too much of a “be grand” attitude around water! Just lastnight the coast guard helicopter was called out for people on kayaks who drifted too far offshore! All was grand in the end but just goes to show despite it being rather calm out anything can happen.

Heard a couple of lads in their late 20s say the other day is the tide out at the same time every day. Jaysis what are they teaching them over the last 15 or so years.

It’s the Rip tide sea swimmers need to be careful with.

Yep you have more buoyancy in Saltwater than fresh water. so if you remain calm you're more likely to stay on the surface rather then sink

This new “secret” waterfall has people coming from all over to visit. It’s a tragedy waiting to happen with people not checking tide times before they go to visit it. Been a few people airlifted from it already after getting caught in the tide.

Yea we were there a couple of weeks back, was a young family going towards it when we were leaving with the tide coming in, told them this but they didn’t seem too bothered.

Yeah lakes are much colder than sea temps at the minute so there is good chance of cold water shock,also lakes have much more uneven surfaces and dip than beaches so you can get caught out.but mostly it’s inexperience....I’m sea/lake swimming all year round years now and some of the things you see are crazy.young kids on there own,inflatables,and people that just can’t swim getting into the water. I was swimming at balascadden last night around 8/8:30,the water was grand for me but there was pockets of people standing chest high in the water chatting away but shivering...an early sign of cold water shock.

Strandhill beach in Sligo is notorious for it. Plenty of people drowned over tge years including 3 teenage boys in one go. Really dangerous and signs everywhere but still people go in the water. Locals know the risk but the amount of visitors who chance it is ridiculous. I told a English woman to take her kids out of water one day and she wasnt happy saying it would be fine. Told her couple of stories which changed her mind.
