Rookie Lifeguard

The Rookie Lifeguard Programme is for children aged 8 - 12. The Rookie skills make your child aware of how to take better care of themselves, their family and friends, and give them the information they need to promote water safety in their day-to-day activities. It gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the pool or the sea – which means peace of mind for you.

​

Each lesson comprises of half an hour water based activities and half an hour dry side activities.The Programme is split into three levels for the water based activities: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each level is then split into three stages. As your child progresses through the levels and stages, they will recieve a certificate and badge so they can show off their achievement!

​

In the dryside part of the session, your child will learn skills to achieve the Rookie Life-support, First Aid, and Communications awards.

​

Your child will need to bring a basic swimming kit.
Please note that some of the skills in the programme require your child to wear a long sleeve top and trousers. We therefore ask that your child brings these every week too.
