Swim Safe Returns to Scarborough

Monday, 9 August 2021 06:57

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.

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.

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