We currently offer 3 Rookie classes throughout the week. Rookie Lifeguard is aimed at children who can competently swim 50 meters, ideally completing Swim Skills 3. The scheme begins with Stage 1 of the Bronze Award and completes after Stage 3 of the Gold Award.
Built into the programme are lessons in valuable survival, rescue and sports skills, all delivered in an exciting way that will get children involved and motivated.
For many of our Rookie Lifeguards, our programme offers the first opportunity to explore water safety, gradually gaining independence and confidence while learning vital life skills. Our programme will inspire and embolden your child, helping them keep themselves, their friends and their family safe in the water through a range of fun activities that lead towards a series of awards.
