Swim Safe

Children get to enjoy a fun, structured Swim Safe session at a Llandegfedd reservoir and learn all about how to stay safe in the water.

The 45-minute session is run by qualified lifeguards and instructors, and includes:

1. Water safety advice provided by qualified lifeguards on land.
2. Up to 30-45 minutes in-water tuition with qualified instructors.
3. All the right kit for swimming outdoors (including swimming hats, wetsuits, and swimming aids).

Who can attend?

Swim Safe is open to children aged 7-14+

To take part, they must be able to swim a minimum of 25m unsupported.

An over 18 - parent, guardian or teacher must be present and contactable ON-SITE throughout the session.

Why is Swim Safe needed?

Every year, RNLI lifeguards and lifeboats race to the rescue of children and adults who find themselves in difficulty in and near the water.

RNLI work closely with Swim Wales and a range of local delivery partners to make Swim Safe available to as many children as possible, whether they live by the coast, inland and in our cities.

Since launching with a single site in 2013, Swim Safe has grown to include more than 30 sites across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
