IT WAS sink or swim for pupils when they were given an introduction to the world of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute.

Students from Monks Dyke Tennyson Technology College's Louth and Mablethorpe campuses had time out of normal lessons to learn about everything the RNLI volunteers do, from life-saving to fundraising.
