The year five and six children took part on a number of 'beach and sea safety' sessions, funded by Sid Valley Rotary, over two days.
Guy Russell, of Jurassic Paddle and Sidmouth Lifeboat, and his colleague Maddy ran the sessions starting with a beach clean interspersed with serious safety messages and discussions about the benefits of the sea on mental health, and of course keeping fit and having fun.
The poor weather provided an appropriate platform to explain the importance of respecting the water.
Ending at Sidmouth ifeboat station, Mr Russell challenged the youngsters to clean the beach on every trip and to share what they had learnt with their parents.
