Thank you all very much for supporting this petition. This is the largest number of signatures I’ve ever had, and it means a lot to me.

To help this petition grow, and if you haven’t already done so, I would appreciate it very much if you could share this petition with as many people as possible on social media and other places.

I would also appreciate it very much if you could chip in and add some financial support in order to get the word out to as many potential supporters as possible.

Finally, I would like to say that it would be good if you all could write to and/or telephone your local authorities in order to raise awareness of this issue to them. I am particularly interested in getting the word out to areas where there are no or very few lifeguards present. Examples of such areas are Ayrshire, Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen, Cumbria, and Blackpool.
