Thankfully all were reunited with their parents, but the public are being reminded that lifeguards are not baby-sitters and need to concentrate on more important matters.
The figures released by Irish Water Safety reveal 24 rescues from guarded beaches and waterways as well as 40 people who were rescued from boats.
Clare Lifeguards also administered first aid to 524 people in the month of July and say 1,669 accidents were prevented by their proactive efforts at local waterways and beaches.
