RNLI Lifeguards Swansea

20/09/2026

The lifeguard service has finished for this year, 2026. A wet end to a very busy season.

There are currently no lifeguards patrolling at Aberavon, Langland, Caswell, Three Cliffs, Port Eynon, or Pembrey.

This season has been our busiest yet, with record temperatures and record numbers of visitors on the beaches. The lifeguard service has dealt with hundreds of incidents, including rescues, lives saved, and major first aid incidents.That is not to mention the massive amount of minor first aid, preventative actions, and other interventions. We are massively proud of what the team has achieved this season.

Many of the team will now return to education, employment in different sectors, or continue their lifeguard duties abroad.
The lifeguards have worked tirelessly to keep people safe this season, and we are really grateful for the help of all the external agencies that have supported us.

A gentle reminder that there are no lifeguards on patrol.

If you see anyone in difficulty, call 999.

If you are in the water and get into difficulty, do not panic—FLOAT on your back.

Stay safe 💧

Diolch !

Thank you for the support this season.
As busy as it gets!
One team, one purpose.

🌊 THANK YOU, ABERAVON BEACH LIFEGUARDS🧡💙

Today, Sunday 6th September, marks the end of another Lifeguard season at Aberavon Beach, Port Talbot.

It has been an extremely busy season, and throughout the summer our Lifeguards have shown incredible dedication, professionalism and commitment to keeping the public safe.

Lifeguarding is far more than simply watching the beach. Throughout the season, our team has dealt with a wide variety of incidents and emergencies. They have responded to serious incidents, assisted with missing children, helped paddleboarders in difficulty and supported members of the public when they needed help.

Behind every response are highly trained individuals who are constantly watching, assessing situations and making decisions that can ultimately save lives.

Our Lifeguards have also worked hand in hand with Port Talbot Lifeboat crew, Coastguard and Police colleagues, building an excellent working relationship and helping to make Aberavon Beach a safer place for everyone who visits and enjoys our coastline.

Today also marks the start of a new chapter for many of our Lifeguards. Some will be leaving us to travel and work in other parts of the world, taking their skills and experience to countries where they are needed. Others will be returning to university to continue their education and studies.

Whatever the next chapter brings, we want every one of you to know just how much your hard work has been appreciated.

Thank you for the early starts, the long days, the difficult incidents, the training, the professionalism and, most importantly, for looking after the people who come to enjoy Aberavon Beach.

You have been an important part of our beach community, and we are incredibly proud of the work you have carried out this season.

To those heading off to new adventures — stay safe and good luck.

To those returning to university — work hard and enjoy the next chapter.

And to everyone who will be returning next summer — we look forward to seeing you back on Aberavon Beach in 2027.

From all of us at Port Talbot Lifeboat Station:

Thank you for keeping our beach safe. 🌊❤️
