Rookie Lifeguard programme

We are considering running Rookie Lifeguard courses again if there is sufficient interest. This will be delivered in six-week blocks and is aimed at swimmers aged 8 - 12 who can comfortably swim 25 metres.

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. The course can run parallel to your child’s current swimming and will enhance the skills they learn in the pool.
​
For many Rookie Lifeguards, the 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.

Rookie Lifeguard is aimed at children – though the skills learned through the course of the programme are just as valuable to people of all ages. The scheme begins with Stage 1 of the Bronze Award and progresses to Stage 3 of the Gold Award, progressing to the level where our Rookie Lifeguards perform impressive lifesaving tows.

The cost will be £30 for a six-week course with a likely start date in April excluding Easter. We are considering a timeslot of 6:30pm on Saturday evenings at All Seasons Chorley.
