The COVID Season 2020
Starting with the pre-COVID New Years Day Swim hosted by the hard working St Davids Penknife Club the season became a short summer with disinfectants, social distancing and general care. A few stalwarts still managed to provide Lifeguard cover integrating with RNLI shifts and personal training at Whitesands. No organised group trainings were held due to the complexity of adhering to guidelines and the various permission forms.
So here are the stats from Porthmawr SLSC for the 2020 season where we achieved an enormous amount of volunteer hours picking up the shortfall from the RNLI services.
We patrolled 254 hours – the equivalent to about 30 full days
We had 10 Assists, 9 rescues, 4 major first aids and 1 minor ( we were asking people to deal with their own minors in most circumstances), and 3 missing children.
Lets hope that next year we can all get together down at the beach!
Senior Training
Senior and Oldies training has now commenced at 18:30 on Monday evenings. There was a good turn out for the first session. Get your wet suits out and pay your subs!
