Open water Lifesaving for all members, all summer long

Rookie Lifeguard : All ages - from snorkelling to swimming, from paddleboards to lifeguard equipment – the ultimate all rounder qualifications

Assistant Beach Lifesaver / Beach Lifeguard : For the young teens a great introduction to lifeguard skills with some serious swimming and skills work – a great fin qualification
