There'll be an opportunity for children to learn vital water-safety skills, in Scarborough, this summer.
Swim Safe returns to Scarborough on Monday, for the first time since 2019.
The RNLI and Swim England estimate that 1.8 million children missed out on learning vital water-safety skills last year, due to Covid.
“Together we're bringing back Swim Safe this summer,”
That's according to Donna Loveland of the Andrew McGowen Legacy Fund, which funds and delivers the free programme.
Children aged 7–14 are taught how to swim safely in open water, including the sea.
Swim Safe is in Scarborough from Monday 9 to Friday 13 August and Bridlington from Monday 16 to Friday 20 August, with a session every hour between 11am and 3pm.
Places should be booked online here.
Volunteer helpers are welcome; contact Donna via the Andrew McGowen Legacy Fund page on Facebook.
