About this episode
From the sea to Spaghetti Junction, Swim Safe’s Ashley Jones teaches children all over the UK to stay safe in and around open water
Most children learn to swim in an indoor pool, but swimming in open water is very different – and it's often when accidents happen. That’s why Swim England and the RNLI partnered to form the Swim Safe programme, which delivers fun and free water safety sessions to children at inland and coastal locations.
Heading up the campaign, Ashley Jones shares top tips to help children stay safe in and around open water – and how ultimately, those messages have helped save lives.
