For our members;
We are starting the roll out of our 2025 lifesaving delivery. We are offering a few different qualifications- please review the detail to check age eligibility etc. These courses will all be run alongside each other.
Please read all the information below to work out the appropriate qualification.

11,12,13th April - lifeguard course (lifeguard 16+ and lifesaver 14+)

All 3 days must be in attendance.
9-5pm
Timed swim will be done at a youth session
Tube and board rescue will be practiced in the pool also.
Myagi online learning needs to be completed by 13th April - this contributes to the hours.

For those that are turning 14 or 16 this year and not reached that age by the assessment date, 13th April, you can still complete the training at these sessions and further assessment dates will take place over the course of the season.

You are required to complete 40 hours of guided learning. During this time please ensure you attend the regular Tuesday night swim, as we will be building on skills as part of the normal training.

Part of this is online learning (a login will be provided by SLSGB once course set up is done)

There is no cost for this qualification normally £40 for club members. The club has secured grants and fundraising that has generously covered the costs.

We are hoping for those doing GCSE/A Levels etc that you can fit this into your studies. Any concerns please chat to Rich.

Places are limited.
