Children's Water Safety With An Adult

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, our children’s water safety sessions are available to those under 18 years and can swim 5-10m confidently in a swimming pool with their face in the water. These sessions are 30 minutes and include a safety briefing on the beach before entering the water.

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

*All children must be accompanied in the water by a responsible adult*.

Their first session includes a badge and certificate.

All sessions will be held at The Boathouse, Felpham.
