Beach Bandit Swimming

NEW LOCATION UPDATE FOR SEASON 2026.

With the current works on the beach that we’d usually use and the new location for the buoys that are officially out for the season (whoop!), we’ve shifted over to the beach opposite both Babble and Lex’s Cafe.

Please share! Look for our flag and we’ll sea you on the beach 🤙🏻

Season 25, over and outttt 🐬

Words cannot describe how epic this season has been, from re-opening the pool at the start of April to the first Beach 2 Buoy course in May and those that followed, to our kids beach sessions and summer intensive courses, swimmers who high fived the buoys for the first time and swimmers who came back for more, to those who learnt to swim, achieved their summer goals and those who showed up simply because it’s what they love, all the way to now, winding down with some colder sea swims and a final pool intensive. It’s been one wild ride! 🤙🏻

THANK YOU to every single swimmer, parent, supporter who joined the Beach Bandit Swimming journey this year. It’s certainly been one to remember.

Season 26 is already under plans 🤭
Stay in the loop, keep in touch and see you next year 😃💦

Returned to my all time favourite swimming venue for my all time favourite swimming distance, with my all time favourite swimming buddies, and had the best 10k swim to date - doesn’t get much better than that.

A 2hr 46min straight 10k swim. No stops, no mental battles, no aches and pains, or kicks in the face. Not my fastest, but my smoothest - simply, stoked.

Incredibly proud of these two also, taking on the 5K for her first time , and B just for fun ✌🏻

Thanks for another fab event 🌞

Summer courses, COMPLETE 🌞🤙🏻

4 weeks, 70 swimmers, 110hours in the water - dang.

An absolutely epic summer and an incredible amount of swimming from each individual swimmer. What a joy it’s been!

THANK YOU! 🦀🐠🐬🦭

Mission continues. See you back in the water in September for our Autumn term 😃

Until then, cheers to the best summer yet and now for a week off to rest, recharge and reset (whilst also celebrating the big 3-0 🎂)! ✌🏻

& that’s a wrap on our first block of sea sessions this season. What a term it’s been! 🌞

We’ve had an absolute blast once again and couldn’t be prouder of every single swimmer who joined us, whether it was their first time with us, or perhaps second or even third(!!) year.

Brighton and Hove’s seafront is officially that little bit safer than it was just 2 months ago. Mission continues! 🔥

Our summer holiday intensive courses start in just a couple days and whilst these courses may be fully booked, we’ve had a few spaces open up for our September and October sessions - enquire today to secure yourself a slot this season 🐬

Have a great summer. SEA YOU IN THE WATER 💦🤙🏻

A week of blue skies and warm weather, with a mix of calm waters and playful waves 😎

This weeks swimmers have learnt a bunch of sea safety, from our younger swimmers learning about the lifeguard flags and the basics of high and low tides to our older swimmers experiencing some tougher but playful wave swimming, including a high tide swim to the buoys and back - huge achievements 👏🏻

It’s been such fun and incredibly rewarding.
Making Brighton and Hove’s seafront that little bit safer with knowledge, safety and a whole lotta fun 😄🤙🏻

Some answers, to some questions, which are potentially stopping you from clicking that BOOK NOW button.

1️⃣ 100%! Our sessions are led by experienced open water coaches, in clearly marked areas, with small ratios and safety kit at all times.

2️⃣ that’s what we’re here for. To teach your child to become strong, capable and confident. We work with each child’s level and progress at their own pace.

3️⃣ well-fitted full-length wetsuit, sea boots, swim cap and goggles. Big smile and a can-do attitude! We’ll provide the tow floats.

4️⃣ we hope so! They’re learning real life skills in a fun, engaging and empowering way, alongside friends, in the salty air, surrounded by good-vibes only. It doesn’t get much better than that 🤙🏻

5️⃣ no. One off sessions don’t give kids the chance to build the key skills we focus on: confidence, sea safety, technique, and trust in their own ability. Open water can feel overwhelming at first - colder water, waves, no pool walls - and it takes time to get used to that. We’ve designed our sessions to build over time so each child can feel safe, build confidence, develop skills and gain independence.

Our Summer Holiday Intensive Courses are available to book (last few remaining spaces!). Head over to our website via the link in the bio to book your slot now 💦
