Our coached groups run throughout the summer from Trevaunance Cove and during the winter in the pool.
To get the most out of the club, we recommend that everyone (even grown ups) take the opportunity to join a coached group if possible.
Please get in touch with the group contact below BEFORE joining to find out if there is space or to join the waiting list.
Youth coaching groups are allocated by school year. Fees for the 2021/2 are £100 per child; this includes membership and all subs for pool and beach sessions.
Each group must be self sufficient, finding coaches, helpers and qualified lifeguards from within the parents of that group. Adults can join with their child at a special reduced rate of only £35 on the understanding that they make a contribution to the club.
This is the best person to contact if you have any questions about a group or wish to join.

All our group leaders and coaches are DBS checked. Each session is lead by an SLSGB Qualified Level 2 coach assisted by one or more Level 1 coaches and parent volunteers. Our beach sessions are also supported by a qualified lifeguard. The club will cover the cost of these qualifications for parents who commit to helping out.

We aim to create the most inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. However, the sea is a potentially dangerous environment and it is important for the safety of all involved that we can rely on participants to be capable of some level of self support.
Our sessions are not a substitute for swimming lessons and we expect and may insist that children (particularly < Y5) attend swimming lessons.

Y1 – Y2 | 25m Pool Swim 25m Beach Run 25m Sea Swim (wetsuit) |

Please allow time to be parked, changed into your wetsuit and signed in ready for your session start. Parking can be tight at the beach when our sessions are on and never underestimate how long it takes to get a grom into their wetsuit boots – so please allow plenty of time. Please note that our nipper sessions “YR-Y6″are not “drop and go”, a responsible adult must remain at the beach throughout.
