Rookie Lifeguard

Tuesday 4th August - Thursday 6th August 2026

For children aged 8-12 years

From 1.30pm until 4.30pm

Course price -£110.00

The Rookie Lifeguard programme gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the pool or the sea – which means peace of mind for you. With colourful materials and fun, varied activities, the Rookie Lifeguard scheme teaches children how to enjoy water safely, whether in shallow or deeper water.

 The award contains rescue, survival and life support skills as well as general water safety elements. Children who have passed stage 6 will have fulfilled the criteria to join the course, or those who can swim 50 meters front crawl unaided.

We hope by the end of the course they will have been able to achieve either bronze, Silver or Gold awards in Rookie Lifeguard. 

 Please be aware that they will be swimming in clothes for the course, so need to be a confident swimmer. Parents should also note the children are required to swim without using googles.
