Blue Flag?

category dublin | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Sunday July 10, 2005 19:51author by P.O. Swimmer - Individual Report this post to the editors

Dogs in the water.

It is not healthy for dogs to swim in blue flag swimming areas.

HOW DO BEACHES QUALIFY FOR THE BLUE FLAG

It is not hygienic for dogs to be swimming amongst people, yet two inadequate lifeguards at Seapoint today failed to observe the Rotweiler amongst other dogs in the water.

Are 2 lifeguards sufficient to patrol a beach with over two hundred bathers? The same lifeguards who can’t tell the difference between people and dogs in the water. Would anyone feel safe with such slack safety measures, and poor hygiene?

Dogs urinating near the showers where people are sunbathing must surely raise the issue of what the Blue Flag is all about.

Pissed-off swimmer.
