Learn vital water safety skills
Improve children’s water confidence with ElementalUK’s FREE Swim Safe sessions
Swim Safe programme
The Swim Safe programme was designed by Swim England and the RNLI to help children aged from 7 to 14 stay safe when in or near open water, and Elemental works with them to deliver this message to young people in Cornwall and beyond. In fact, we deliver more Swim Safe sessions than any other provider in the UK.
The central message of each 60-minute session is “Relax, Float, Breathe” – giving young people vital life-saving skills if they or someone else gets into difficulty in the water. The message is delivered through a series of water-based and land-based games, clearly conveying the central safety information in a fun and memorable way.
