Coastguard warns of dangers of swimming in sea

Wed, 25 Jul 2018

Douglas Coastguards are appealing to parents to advise their children of the dangers of the Island's coast.

Crews have been called out three times since schools broke up for the summer at the end of last week to help children.

The latest incident saw a group of children in difficulty while swimming from Peveril Steps in Douglas.

The Coastguard says it's great for children to have fun outdoors, but are urging them to consider what can happen if it goes wrong.
