Sea Swim Safety and Rookie lifeguard sessions
Book your child on to one of our Sea Safety and Rookie Lifeguard sessions. Teaching children vital sea safety skills and building confidence and ability to swim safely in the sea. Knowing when to enter the water versus when not to, what each beach flags mean, risk assessing waters, what to do when you get into trouble and if your friends get into trouble. Run by RLSS Rookie lifeguard instructor, Open water coaches, Swim coaches and beach lifeguards. Learn these life saving skills before the summer holidays to keep your children safer.
When: Sunday 6th July 2025 from 10:00am-11:00am
Where: Hordle Cliffs beach, Milford on sea SO41 0UX – This is the car park with a food kiosk and public toilet. Please note that it is pay and display.
What do I need to bring? Wetsuits are great for the kids to reduce the risk of them getting cold and having a horrible time. A swim cap and goggles
Do I have to stay? Yes, each child needs to have an adult present throughout the session. Please feel free to stay close by and listen in, we hope that you enjoy the session and maybe learn something that will keep your child even safer.
What age does my child have to be? Age 7+. If your child is under 7 years of age but attends lessons with New Forest Swim Academy then please email to discuss if the session is suitable.
Ability: Each child needs to be able to swim a minimum of one length of a pool unaided to be able to take part in the water based exercises. If we deem it unsafe for any child to take part in the water based activities they will not be able to do so and a refund will not be available. We do appreciate however that some children can become nervous entering the sea, but with over 3 years of sea safety sessions, we feel that we are equipped with the right skills as instructors and teachers to deliver this safely to the children.
Cost: £22.50 per child. Children from the same household will be able to attend at £20.00 per session. Multiple bookings will also be eligible to a discount.
We have multiple children, can we book our own private session? Yes, certainly. Email info@nfsa.co.uk and we will discuss a session bespoke to your group. This is perfect for children from football teams, rugby etc and can be designed to be a learning and teambuilding session.
