A hugely successful and well respected local ironman Craig Riddington has kindly put together a water safety document  especially for B&B. He is impressed by what the B&B do and hopes these words may be of use to both new and seasoned swimmers amongst us.

Some have hailed 'Riddo' as one of the the 'greatest surf swimmers of all time' so please take 10 minutes to download, read and maybe learn a few things.
