The Rookie Lifeguard Festival went extremely well.

We had 70 swimmers competing in various events, including Life Raft towing, (loads of fun) T-Shirt relay (loads of fun) Rope throwing and rescue (not so much fun) everyone did really well, learning new skills, with the Red Team overall winners.

Well done everyone, especially Mary and Claire who organised the event and all those that came down to help on the day.

We hope everyone enjoyed the event.

NOW COMES THE NEXT STAGE.
Even if you where unable to attend the Festival you are more than welcome to join the Rookie Lifeguard program (if you are aged 9 and over and in Alphas upwards) that starts on
Saturday 3rd June, 11.00am to 12pm at Brinscall.

More information will be posted as it comes available, but liaison officers will be at the pool during training sessions with application forms and more information or contact us by email clubcontacts@chorleymarlins.org.uk
should you wish to enrol on to the Rookie Lifeguard.

Sorry for the short notice, this should have been posted when the rookie lifeguard event was advertised.

​Due to the Rookie Lifeguard Event taking place at Chorley this coming Sunday, training will no longer be taking place and is cancelled.

This includes Land Training

Training tonight at Chorley has had to be cancelled, due to the leisure centre closing the pool because of foreign bodies in the pool.

Sorry for the short notice

this will affect the following squads:

District
Club 3
