The rescuers recommend that you follow their instructions very precisely. These people are trained, know the dangers and want to avoid drowning people. In the coming days, perhaps thousands of people will come and bathe again for the first time in a long time. The beach water is 16 degrees warm and it always keeps watching, because the sea is not a swimming pool. The beach police are also mobilized and ready.
Tim Blomme, Deputy Parrow Blankenberge: “We are very well prepared. But we are not yet in Full Force. From 1 July we will be ready with forty job students. Now we have only six permanent rescuers and six student rescuers. We are therefore also limited in the number of swimming zones that we can open.
