It was great to see so many people using the gardens and taking part in the event.
During Saturday's attendance, the team were tasked to Studland and reports of two paddle boarders in trouble off shore. With their families ashore the team arrived to guide both Swanage RNLI Lifeboats to the pair. Both were taken on the lifeboats and brought ashore to the team.
On Sunday , our colleagues from the National Coastwatch at Peveril Point reported a swimmer they were concerned about off Ballard Point. Members of the Coastguard team attended the lookout to liaise with the watchkeepers and monitor the swimmer.
The swimmer was monitored and continued swimming towards Old Harry after a short break.
Later in the afternoon the team were tasked to Poole Harbour after reports of a dolphin in distress and people in the water trying to help it.
The Poole Lifeboat was also tasked to investigate and arrived just before the team to confirm the dolphin was not caught and seemed to be feeding.
The team arrived and monitored from the shore confirming no persons were in the water.
Just a little reminder that dolphins are protected and please keep your distance in your vessels.
Another busy weekend for the volunteer Coastguard team and thank you to all that came and visited us at the festival.
