Two hours covering an introduction to the beach/ocean environment, gaining knowledge and awareness of weather, tides, swell, rip currents, wildlife and more ...
Another two hour session which looks into hazard awareness, analytical risk assessments, their use and how to complete them.

"Loic and Kate are not only true professionals, they are welcoming, encouraging, patient & kind. Delivering a practical life saving course during social distancing was always going to be challenging, however without any fuss every effort was made to ensure the participating groups and comfort came first. The training was excellent, the online content & Zoom meetings brilliant and the kit and equipment provided was all 1st class.
I unhesitatingly recommend Coast to Coast Water Safety"
