Skerries Coast Guard were out in force at the opening ceremony of the redeveloped Springers. The Springers are a popular local public bathing complex and were recently upgraded with full wheelchair access. Over a hundred swimmers took part in a fun swim along the South Strand.
Skerries Coast Guard also hosted a water safety stand at the event and were on hand to provide useful advice to everyone who dropped by. The Skerries team were also assisted by volunteers from their flank Coast Guard stations, Howth and Drogheda.
The Irish Coast Guard helicopter EI-MES also performed an exciting air display over Red Island.
