Why will it be good for you?

It is well documented that surfing is an amazing sport for your physical and mental wellbeing. It is a fantastic workout and will clear your mind like nothing else – a feeling only a surer would know!

With Swansea University being so close to the beach and summer fast approaching, it is key that you understand and appreciate the dangers of the sea and how to combat them.

This course will help you with both!

The session will be led by a qualified ISA Surf coach and beach lifeguard as part of the WSF surf school.
