Groups

Our coaching sessions run throughout the summer from Trevaunance Cove and during the winter in the pool.

To get the most out of the club we strongly recommend that everyone (even grown ups) take the opportunity to join a coached group if possible.

Thinking of Joining?

Please get in touch with the group contact below BEFORE joining to find out if there is space or to join the waiting list.

• Reception: registration opened 1st September 2021, this group will start on the beach in summer 2023.
• Year 1: no pool sessions, will start on the beach in summer 2022.
• Year 2 – Year 9: groups are currently full but you can join a waiting list.
• We currently have a few spaces for Year 10+.

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.

Group Contacts

This is the best person to contact if you have any questions about a group or wish to join.

Group Leaders & Coaches

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.

Expected Standards

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.

C19 Update: We recognise that participants may have had reduced opportunities to be physically active over the last 18 months and will aim to create multi-level sessions that everyone can enjoy. If you at all concerned about your child’s ability to meet the standards below, please let your group coach know but please don’t consider this a barrier to participation.

Pool Session Times 2021-2022

Please read the information here before attending your pool session: Pool Sessions – St Agnes Surf Life Saving Club

To ensure we do not exceed the capacity of the pool, adult sessions only will require prior booking. Booking will open a week in advance:

Beach Session Times 2022

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.
