In the pool

Each winter sees weekly swim sessions for our nippers, youth and adults at the 25m pool in Ilfracombe. There they get to grips with their swimming, their stamina, their rescue technique and their board paddling.

Children can start as early as five and six years old, but ideally they need to be able to swim 50m with a recognised stroke (ie. not doggy paddle). We do appreciate that swim lessons have been non-existent for young swimmers during the pandemic so we’re mindful of that when taking the youngest swimmers.
