While swimming is a wonderful and rejuvenating activity, we recommend that people are aware of their limits. Check out our article on 10 Water Safety Tips for more information.

If you are not a confident swimmer then it’s worth considering investing in a few private swimming lessons with local swim school Sky Blue Aquatics. They are a reputable swim school who offer lessons for both adults and children. They can come to you at your home, condo or hotel and offer both pool and sea swim lessons. Whether you are a novice or experienced swimmer, these lessons are a great way to improve your confidence technique and of course safety for you and your family around water.
