[PIO] Reminder of the Ministry of Interior for lifeguard coverage of beaches - National Beach Safety Plan "SALAMIS"

The Ministry of Interior, in the framework of the implementation of the National Beach Safety Plan "SALAMIS" by the local Provincial Administrations, reminds the public to be informed about the beaches of free Cyprus where lifeguard coverage is offered, in order to ensure the safety of bathers.

The schedule for the staffing of beaches with lifeguards during the months of August and September 2023 can be found on the website of the Ministry of Interior.

The Ministry also urges bathers, for their own safety and protection, to be regularly informed about the beach staffing schedule, as well as any variations to it.

The public is further reminded to follow the basic instructions/suggestions of lifeguards such as, among others:

1. stay within the bathing areas as defined by the red buoys along the beach;
2. pay particular attention to the constant and close supervision of children;
3. avoid swimming under the influence of alcohol, drugs or substances that affect reaction to hazards or dangerous situations;
4. be aware of their swimming abilities;
5. be aware of weather conditions and any currents in the area.
