Students from different schools across Cornwall will have a chance to learn the importance of beach safety.

According to reports, the RNLI lifeguards will be spearheading the Hit the Surf program, which teaches kids aged eight to twelve on the values of beach safety.

RNLI Divisional Beach Safety Manager Dave Gorman said that they are optimistic that relaying the knowledge to the kids would potentially save a lot of lives. He added that the Hit the Surf sessions have been designed to be fun and encourages the participants to be active.

Gorman said that bodyboarding is a very popular activity among kids at the beach. It is with this reason that they will incorporate the teaching of proper bodyboarding to the kids so that they can avoid danger and untoward incidents.

The program will start this week at Hayle and Fistral beaches in Cornwall.
