Lifeguards: The 65-year-old keeping people safe in the water

A 65-year-old man swapped retired life for life-saving on Northern Ireland's beaches over the summer.

And, despite feeling physically fit, he said he was initially apprehensive about joining, given his age. This year, since his return, he clinched an Irish 50m butterfly title and now holds 10 Ulster swimming records."I actually know Stuart Montgomery, who is the RNLI lifeguard supervisor, through swimming," John said.

In his previous job, the swimmer-turned-lifeguard travelled extensively and his job kept him away from home for more than 40 weeks of the year.John added that a big reason for wanting to become involved with the RNLI was his desire to help people and to make a difference. John said the girl was instructed to stay in the sea water for ten minutes to alleviate any pain and then he simply wiped the stinger away with a bank card to remove it.John said a big reason for wanting to become involved with the RNLI was his desire to help people and to make a difference.
