PROPOSED DATES - LATE SEPT

We’d look to involve a number of Cornwall’s swim activity providers to offer the Cornwall Swim Festival. It’s a day designed for swimmers of all abilities to have some fun, a bit of a ‘social’, learn some new skills, make some new contacts, compete at our handicapped event, take on a guided swim, receive some coaching…

We’d look to run this as a ‘collective’…Sea Swim Cornwall are happy to take the lead but we’re keen for everyone involved to be invested in promoting and running the event and working together. We’d look to have variety in stall holders and avoid cross-over of products / services.

*People book into the events and swim and then stay and have a look around the market, have a chat, get some food, listen to a talk, attend a course…

Water Safety Course : Book onto Sea Swim Cornwall’s accessible water safety training session, designed to be as inclusive as possible. The only requirement is simply that you need to be able to swim. There is a short practical which takes place in sheltered conditions, in the shallows. The course takes you through first aid, water safety, rip currents, safe swimming practises, safe swim planning and forecast reading…

Swim Market : We’ve gathered together a collection of Cornwall finest suppliers of beach and swim merchandise, from changing robes to designer swim caps, wetsuits to clothing… Open all day, in close proximity to the swimming action.

Longevity in swimming : JB Physio go over specific exercises and stretches designed to keep swimmers strong and supple and extend their swimming ‘career’.

Food : Various food options on site
