A great evening of water safety training with the .Blue.Balls and groups 🌊
We’re always happy to run workshops for local communities because the more people who feel confident and capable around the water, the safer Newquay becomes.
The session covered practical water rescue techniques using surfboards, throwlines and rescue tubes

But we also looked at making the most of what you might already have to hand, from a kayak paddle to a dry bag. When something goes wrong, knowing how to use the equipment around you can make all the difference.
We also covered some basic first aid, incident management and, importantly, how to approach a situation safely without putting yourself at unnecessary risk.
A really positive evening of learning, discussion and practical scenarios.
Empowering more people with the knowledge and confidence to help keep each other safe in and around the water can only be a good thing.
Here’s to more community sessions! 🤙
