With Covid-19 travel restrictions still in place, many people are choosing to “staycation” and visit seaside towns and beaches. With this in mind, we spoke to RNLI Lead Lifeguard Supervisor, Karl O’Neill, about what people can do to stay safe in the water over Easter.

To discuss this further Pauline Carville is joined by Anna Whitehouse.
