Swanage is a very popular destination for school visits. Because we are open to visitors during the summer months we are often visited by these school parties. Of course we love this, it is a chance to explain and describe lifeboat work to young people. We hope that this will encourage them to become lifelong supporters of the work we do. The photos here shows Mark, in his capacity as an instructor at a local field studies centre, showing a group of youngsters around. They were having a great time too!

Interesting theme.... I went on a field trip to Swanage aged 12 and again aged 16 and think that is probably responsible for my interest in the town and desire to live nearer it. Something connected with me about the place and I have never managed to shake it off....
My Swedish mother in law came to Swanage on a school trip and has also had a lifelong love of the place as a result. It does this to you!
Very strange the effect it has. My visit last year was the first for about five years and somehow I felt like I'd never been away! Looking forward to coming back in August again.
Finally registered!! I am quite embarrassed to say that I never knew where Swanage was til I just looked on a map!! Geography never was my strong point. Now I know where it is I have no excuse not to pay a visit. Being in the land-locked midlands I don't get to the seaside often enough!
