The Rookie Lifeguards programme gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the pool or sea - meaning a peace of mind for you.
The Rookie Lifeguard course can run parallel with your child's swimming lessons with us so as their swimming skills enhance so will their knowledge about water safety.
The programme begins with Stage 1 Bronze award and progresses to Stage 3 Gold award. It teaches children aged 8+ how to swim and enjoy water safely, whether in shallow or deeper water. It also covers rescue techniques and resuscitation.
Must be a competent swimmer and able to swim 800m or more.
The entry level is Wave 7 and above.
