Perhaps the school were negligent in not issuing the children with masks and oxygen tanks to stop them drinking sea water.
Whilst i think we should expose children to some risks we live in a litigious society and safety issues do get taken out of proportion. But given the circumstances you describe I think there will be an enquiry here. The teachers are in a difficult position these days

It is unuaual for school trips that are purely as a recreational activity to go ahead these days. usually they are only supposed to be for educational purposes, i am sure 11 year olds are not studying the coastal erosion of the North wales coastline, not are they budding marine bioligists, what was the purpose of the trip? there is a perfectly decent beachg at prestatyn

so the parents knew the children would be going swimming.
aftre one child got into difficulty, 10 climbed onto slippery rocks and some were hurt by doing so.
all went on to continue their day trip
