Lifeguards will be back on duty in the city from Saturday.

They will be patrolling the busiest beaches in the area until the end of the school holidays in September.

They are managed by Brighton and Hove City Council's Seafront Team which trains them ahead of the summer season.

The lifeguards will be responsible for managing emergency responses to water and land-based incidents.

They will also monitor sea conditions, share safety advice, help with first aid, assist in finding lost children, enforcing by-laws and providing tourist information.

People are advised to swim between red and yellow flags as this means it is safe to swim and the area is monitored by a lifeguard.

Red flags are put up when the water is too dangerous for swimming.  

The lifeguard service is funded by Brighton council’s seafront budget. It will cost £482,193 for the 2024 summer season.
