Every splash counts — together, we can make waves of change for the children and adults supported by St. Michael’s House.

Swimming Safety Guidelines

Your safety is our top priority. Please take a few moments to read the following advice before taking part in Brave the Waves:

• Never swim alone – always have someone with you or ensure a safety team is nearby.

• Make sure you can be seen – wear a brightly coloured swim cap or use a tow float.

• Check the weather and wind conditions before you swim.

• Know the tides – use an app such as Tides Near Me. It’s much safer to swim on a rising tide than a falling one.

• Swim within your depth – especially if you’re less experienced or new to open water.

• Listen to your body and tailor your swim to how you feel on the day.

• Be aware of marine life such as jellyfish and weever fish.

• If you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before taking part.
