Junior Session

Only on your first booking a questionnaire & disclaimer will need to be completed & signed. These forms are available once you have added the rest of your group (your/the child). If there are any amendments from previous sessions, Sandy Toed Sea Swimmers must be notified.

Welcome to Sandy Toed Sea Swimmers, my junior sessions are available to all children under 18 years who can swim 15m+, comfortably and continuously front crawl in a swimming pool.

These sessions are up to 30 minutes in the water and include a safety briefing on the beach beforehand. Useful tips will also be given to help them enjoy their swim to the fullest.

As well as sharing my open water passion with your child, my sessions will give them the skills, knowledge and confidence to begin or continue with their own open water journey.

Guidance and advice will be given throughout the session to improve stroke technique.

All sessions will be held at The Boathouse Felpham
