Even our staff had a race to see who was quicker to put the Water Rescue equipment on.

Our cadets were professionals at rescue throw bagging, “ A technique used when someone is in the water and you can throw them a lifeline to pull them in back to safety”

This evening, some of our Sea Cadets, Royal Marines Cadets, and Junior Cadets had the fantastic opportunity to visit both Rhyl Coastguard Rescue Team Station and Rhyl RNLI Lifeboat Station.

Throughout the evening, our cadets learned all about water safety, mud rescue techniques, and the vital role the Coastguard plays in keeping our coastline and communities safe. They were given an insight into the specialist equipment used by the Coastguard and even had the chance to try out some of the kit for themselves. One of the highlights was getting to activate the sirens, something they certainly didn’t want to stop doing!

At the RNLI station, cadets learned about the two lifeboats stationed in Rhyl, their capabilities, the rescue equipment carried onboard, the specialist vehicles used to launch and recover the boats, and the proud history of the station and its volunteers. It was a fascinating look into the lifesaving work carried out by the RNLI, often in some of the most challenging conditions.

The fun wasn’t limited to the cadets either! Our staff took part in a friendly competition to see who could put on the Coastguard rescue equipment the fastest, providing plenty of laughs and adding to an already memorable evening.

Experiences like these give our cadets a valuable understanding of the emergency services that work tirelessly to keep people safe at sea, while inspiring teamwork, confidence, and an appreciation for maritime safety.

A huge thank you to the teams at Rhyl Coastguard Rescue Team and RNLI Rhyl for taking the time to share their knowledge, experiences, and passion with us.

To say the least, our cadets thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and everyone left with smiles on their faces and plenty of new knowledge

We got to be pirates for 3 minutes, to say the least, we don’t think we’d be that good. However, once in a lifetime, we got to our CO Dance.

Thank you to our cadets and staff who attended, to help raise funds for Rhyl Sea Cadets and Royal Marines Cadets

Thank you

Last night, the Sea Cadets and Marine Cadets got out on the water for an awesome evening of rowing. Everyone showed great teamwork, determination, and plenty of enthusiasm as they took to the boats and worked together to push through the session.

After the rowing, the fun didn’t stop there we moved on to some brilliant water games that brought plenty of laughter, friendly competition, and a great chance to cool off and enjoy the evening even more.

A fantastic night all round with skills built, confidence grown, and spirits high. Well done to everyone who took part!
