ENJOYING the sea in safety is the message being delivered to schoolchildren in Tenby on Friday (May 11).

Year 7 pupils from the town's Greenhill School will take part in workshops at Tenby Harbour to learn about the dangers associated with swimming in the sea and the hazards of jumping from height into the water.

This is the second Breakwater event being hosted in the town by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, along with partner agencies.

Said a MAWWFRS spokesman: "This initiative is the result of collaboration between agencies who work in the harbour area and have experience of what can go wrong when individuals get into difficulty in and around the harbour

"The event will focus on reducing inappropriate and careless actions, such as jumping into the busy harbour, and the implications of such behaviour to harbour users and residents.

"The influence of peer pressure will also be discussed, as pupils will be shown how to avoid getting pressurised into dangerous situations in and around the sea."

Breakwater is led by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and supported by the RNLI, Dyfed Powys Police, Pembrokeshire Youth Service, Tenby Sailing Club, Tenby's harbourmaster and representatives of the Tenby boatmen.
