FREE OPEN WATER SWIMMING SAFETY LESSON

Swim Safe is a fun and free water safety activity for children between the age 7-14. During the sessions we will go through key life lessons on how to stay safe in the sea, based on the RNLI key messages and the dangers of Plymouth Sound. We will teach how to avoid an emergency as well as what to do in an emergency in an engaging, memorable way.

There is a capacity to these free sessions so you must book in advance on here: https://swimsafe.org.uk/locations/plymouth-tinside-lido.

There are 3 sessions per day on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 August.

If you cannot make your booking, please cancel your booking through the Swim Safe website, we have limited spaces and want as many children as possible to know how to stay safe around our National Marine Park.

We will provide wetsuits, but please make sure children are wearing a swimming costume on the day. Please let us know if you need to borrow a swimming costume by emailing NMPRangers@plymouth.gov.uk

Who can attend?
Swim Safe is open to children aged 7-14.

To take part;

  • Children must be able to swim a minimum of 25m.
  • A parent, guardian or teacher must be present throughout the session.

Hurricane Nigel, low pressure systems in the Atlantic incoming, very high winds Sunday and on Wednesday this week (gusts predicted up to 66mph on Wednesday afternoon).

We are afraid that we will be grabbing the pontoons as and when we have a weather window.

Cattewater Harbour Commissioners will take them out one at a time, hopefully easing you into their winter storage time, but this is for the safety of the pontoons, but more importantly yourselves.

As soon as we know when they will be coming out, we will let you know, but just to give you a heads up, as much as we wanted to keep them in for as long as possible. Unfortunately the winds and swell have appeared as suddenly as autumn seems to have.

The water temperature is a balmy 16.5oC, not into cold water shock territory yet, but in the latest Plymouth Sound National Marine Park newsletter, out soon, we've written loads on staying safe whilst bobbing this autumn/winter, taking pressure off Plymouth Lifeboat Station.

We'll let you know as soon as the pontoons are coming out. But please remember if in doubt, don't go out.

Thank you
