Kenfig Sands

Another weekend meant another set of patrols for our club members. It was good to see some younger ones on patrol learning the importance of patrolling, the equipment and the different procedures. Look out for us when you are next down the beach!

This is certainly something you won’t see paddling out at Sker Point! theinertia.com/surf/great-whi… #Kenfig #Pyle #Cornelly #Nottage #Porthcawl #Bridgend #Surf #Shark

Britain is set to warm up so prepare for a late #summer scorcher as a Saharan heat surge is expected. #Weather #Forecast #HotHotHot #SlipSlapSlop

@DinEvans @KenfigWarden We did not know there was a #WorldSandDuneDay!

@KenfigWarden @KenfigSandsSLSC

A public access #defib is now situated on our #lifeguard building overlooking Rhych Point, Sandy Bay (aka Coney) & Trecco Bay. To gain access, call 999 for the code. @AdlerandAllan donated the cabinet that houses a @savealifecymru #AED, installed today by Riverside Industrial.

You’d always want the best tools for the job. Same if you were a plumber, sculptor or carpenter. So the best advice I can give is: “INVEST IN & KNOW YOUR KIT”. #Paramedic #Ambiwlans #CombatMedic #FREC #FPOS #FROS

Thanks to @savealifecymru’s @haden_tipples for dropping into our course last week at @UniSouthWales Glyntaff campus. He spoke to the 9 new #CFR candidates about the chain of survival, public access #defib use and the importance of community #AED education.

The is a photo of our beach Kenfig Sands (known to locals as Sker beach). No incident took place here today, the incident the news article is referring to was at Aberavon/Port Talbot seafront, further down the coast. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@SwimmerWith Sometimes when there’s a very very low tide it picks up the muddy bits. Hope it hasn’t put you off Kenfig Sands?!

@KenfigSandsSLSC Heading to a low tide

@KenfigSandsSLSC hi any idea what the water quality is like ? Is there a sewerage outlet nearby ? Thx

@SwimmerWith Was it after a very low tide?

@KenfigSandsSLSC Good to know, thanks . There was a bit of 'brown matter' in the water and I just wondered ...

The tragic incident on Wednesday off #Bournemouth Pier, saw two teenage deaths with another eight others being treated for non-life-threatening injuries after being pulled from the sea. #WaterSafety #VigilanceAndService bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

We may be a small club but our team of dedicated sun worshiping volunteers attend patrols on our remote location, throughout the summer. #VigilanceAndService #Volunteers #SurfRescue #WaterSafety #BeachSafety #SunSafety #SlipSlapSlop #Kenfig #Bridgend #Wales #VolunteersWeek

This permanent rip current at Ogmore-by-Sea caused by the river always keeps @PenybontSLSC volunteers busy.

Water makes up 2/3 of our body. It’s vital we drink & replace enough fluid to maintain a healthy balance, especially in this hot #weather. #BeachSafety #SunSafety #Hydrate

@barryinpics You have a better zoom that us! We spotted them flying over our beach this avo too.

Well done to Jason Grice, Connie Millar, Ava Wong and Robert Grice on competing in today’s first Welsh Ranking. Some impressive racing 💪🏻👏🏻
