Online Water Safety Voucher

For sea swimmers and beginner surfers
 
Most beginner surfers and open water swimmers will have experienced currents but not many know how to spot them. In this course, you will learn the tools to analyze any beach and surf zone, develop a systematic approach to see patterns in a chaotic environment and understand how to avoid or use currents to your advantage as well as safely and calmly get out of them again.
 
If you are surfing/swimming in cold water, do you know about the cold water shock or the effects of the after-drop? In this course, we will raise your ocean awareness and help you to learn everything you need to know so you can go into the water with confidence.
