Lifeguards

RNLI Lifeguards

Keeping watch Through the summer season RNLI Lifeguard station operates to cover Cromer’s east and west beaches. They’re always happy to give safe swimming advice.

The north Norfolk coast is a beautiful place to visit in the summertime, its numerous beaches being one of the main attractions. RNLI lifeguards patrol on six beaches in the area during the summer months, keeping them safe for locals and tourist alike. Cromer east beach is

patrolled by RNLI lifeguards from mid-May to midSeptember. Cromer west beach is patrolled from early July until early September. During these periods beaches are patrolled between 10am and 6pm, seven days a week.

If you are planning a day out at the seaside, it is important to remember to always swim at a lifeguarded beach. The lifeguards will operate a flag system to keep all water users safe:

Red and Yellow flags: These flags will be raised to indicate the safest area to swim. Make sure

you always stay in between the red and yellow flags when swimming or bodyboarding, where the lifeguards can see you.

Black and White Flags: The black and white flags indicate the zone for surf craft. If you are surfing or kayaking, stay between the black and white flags. Red Flag: If this flag is raised at the lifeguard hut or on the beach it means NO SWIMMING. It is

unsafe to enter the water if the red flag is flying.

Orange Windsock: This means that there are strong winds blowing out to sea, and that it is not safe to use inflatables. Do not take inflatables

into the water if the windsock is flying.

If you are going swimming or surfing in the sea this summer, make sure you always go with a friend. If you should find yourself in trouble or out of depth, raise your hand in the air, shout for help and wait for a lifeguard to come to your assistance. If you have a bodyboard, surfboard or inflatable, do not let go of it as it is keeping you afloat.

When you get to the beach, go and speak to the lifeguards and ask them about the tides, weather forecast and the best times for you to swim safely. They are very friendly and are happy to help! Emergency only calls for lifeboat assistance should be made by dialling 999 and asking for 'Coastguard'.
