ALERT: Popular swimming spot in Waterford to remain closed as warm weather continues

A popular swimming spot in County Waterford will remain closed today as the warm weather continues.

Maintenance work got underway at the Guillamene in Tramore yesterday and will continue today.

This is to facilitate a new ladder being installed for swimmers at the location.

In a statement on Tuesday, The Newtown and Guillamene Swimming Club said: “A boat will launch via Newtown Cove at 8am tomorrow morning carrying the gear needed to facilitate the works.

“Please be aware this boat will also return via Newtown Cove tomorrow evening. The boat will take all the necessary precautions.

“We would ask swimmers to be vigilant when swimming there around launch and return time and to heed all warnings.”

Waterford City and County Council apologised for any inconvenience caused as the work is being carried out.
