SwimSafe Lessons for Bridlington Youngsters

Thursday, 7 July 2022 06:00

By Matthew Pells

Swim Safe is returning to Bridlington this Summer.

The RNLI and Swim England have teamed up to offer children free sea safety lessons.

Swim Safe is funded and delivered by the Andrew McGeown Legacy Fund. There are public sessions on offer on Bridlington South Beach. Sessions run from 12th - 16th August.

Bridlington South Beach is a popular venue for day-trippers, locals and water users alike. The Andrew McGeown Legacy Fund was set up by friends and family of Andrew (who tragically drowned in 2015), and as part of his legacy they fully fund the delivery costs of the Swim Safe programme.

Bridlington RNLI say:

"One hour sessions run all day every day and they are free. Each session is run by fully qualified lifeguards. Swim safe is an inclusive activity that can be adapted for children with special educational needs and or disabilities."

The Swim Safe sessions are open to children aged 7-14 who can swim at least 25 meters. Each hour long session will include safety advice from qualified lifeguards and up to 30 minutes in-water tuition with qualified swimming teachers.

Spaces on the courses can be booked via the swim safe website https://swimsafe.org.uk/locations/bridlington

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
