A quick reminder about the swim event safety training that’s being run at MB on 21 April. It’s being put on specifically with PPCA members in mind, but has now been opened up also to other local clubs. Four members have signed up. If you’re tempted, act soon!
This is the email from Dan Tolchard, who will be running the training. I haven’t been able to upload the poster, but those of you who indulge in Facebook can see it there — or I can email it to anyone who requests it.

Dear all
I have today secured the Mount Batten Centre for April 21st to run the SESA course.
Initially it will be open to 10 PPCA members (12 if a coach is amongst that number) [Note: there is one]
There is a large regional demand for this course so if the spaces aren’t filled by March 21st I will advertise it nationally.
The SESA training is recognised as an 18 month coach update course.
The course fee will be £35 pp (£38 for non BC members) and includes fee for certification.
More importantly the course is jam packed with theory and practical skills that will help improve skill and awareness for any paddlers who escort swimmers.
For more info, syllabus and pre requisites follow this link.

Bob Grose has done this training in Penzance so you may want to ask him about it.
Please share the poster attached and also forward onto club sectary to go out to all members.
Many thanks
