RNLI lifeguards are returning to Whitmore Bay at Barry Island for the start of the new season.
The first patrols of the year will begin on Good Friday and run throughout the Easter bank holiday weekend.
The lifeguard crew at Whitmore will return every weekend until full-time patrols get underway on Thursday 24th May and continue for the rest of the summer until September.
Lifeguards have already resumed patrols at three beaches across South and West Wales, with more to follow in the coming days and weeks.
Last year, RNLI lifeguards in the region saved 13 lives and attended 1,349 incidents, aiding 1,973 people.

A spokesperson said: "The RNLI encourages beachgoers to swim between the red and yellow flags. Lifeguards position the flags in the safest area of the beach and patrol this area at all times. Anyone intending on intend on surfing or participating in hard craft activity, should stay between the black and white flags."
"At this time of year, when the sea is at its coldest, cold water shock is a possibility. Water temperature below 15 degrees can affect breathing and movement, which often causes panic and can lead to drowning."
"Anyone planning a dip is advised to wear a wetsuit, to minimise the risk of cold water shock and the carrying of a floatation device is recommended."
Earlier this month, eight people had to be rescued by lifeboat crews in two separate incidents.
