Swimmers are being urged to practice caution if they're heading to the beach over the long weekend, especially if they're weak swimmers.
Water Safety Officer, Carline Casey told RTÉ's Brendan O'Connor:"Swim where there are lifeguards. You'll know they are on duty because you will see the red-over-yellow flags flying on the beach.""So in this type of weather, our body temperatures are warmer and if we go very quickly into the water, you could get cold water shock."She advised swimmers to go to a beach they're familiar with.
She continued,"If you have children with you at the beach, please make sure and supervise them and supervise means holding their hands, be it on the sand and in the water."
