An initiative to discourage tombstoning - jumping into water in a near vertical position from a height – has been delivered to Year 7 pupils from Greenhill School, in Tenby.

The multi-agency ‘Breakwater’ event was held in the resort for the second year running and was attended by 140 schoolchildren.

“The day was aimed at being as interactive and engaging as possible while delivering a serious message about personal safety,” said Nick Hudd from Pembrokeshire Youth Services.

A range of workshops were held aimed at addressing associated issues including water safety, peer pressure and anti-social behaviour.

The project was fully supported by the Tenby Harbour community with Tenby Yacht Club providing space to facilitate workshops.

Local boatman, Roger Miles, talked to young people about the dangers the environment poses and Tenby harbour Snack Bar kindly provided free refreshments.

Other agencies involved included Dyfed-Powys Police, the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MWWFRS), the RNLI, as well as a number of local businesses,

Jeremy Trew from the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Events like these demonstrate the effectiveness of working collaboratively with partners from other agencies and the community to help address identified needs. We all share a collective responsibility to do whatever we can to keep young people safe.”
