Over forty candidates are required each season which is a considerable annual employment undertaking.
Water Safety Ireland (WSI) have recently provided a series of training courses in the county,
tailored to comply with Covid-19 restrictions, to qualify candidates as beach lifeguards.

On March 28, 59 candidates were independently examined by WSI in the Ballyshannon Leisure Centre for proficiency as Beach Lifeguards for recruitment.
Ten volunteers oversaw the running of this examination to whom Donegal County Council are very grateful.
Candidates are recruited on condition of holding a valid qualification and suitable performance in
the WSI examination. Supporting beach services (lifeguard stations, toilets, uniform, equipment,
first aid, etc) are currently being procured for the season.
Lifeguard deployment is scheduled for the start of the bathing season in June.
