Rookie Lifeguard
This is the first step on the ladder to becoming a qualified Lifeguard and forms part of our Junior Learn to Swim program.
The programme gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the pool or the sea. With colourful materials and fun, varied activities, the Rookie Lifeguard scheme teaches children how to swim and enjoy water safely, whether in shallow or deeper water.
The bronze, silver and gold levels are covered under the Junior Leisure for Life card or by taking out the swimming lesson direct debit.

This is the next step to becoming a qualified Lifeguard. Survive and Save is a new Royal Life Saving Society award replacing the old Bronze Medallion.
The Survive & Save Programme is for teens and adults (12years+). The awards are challenging but fun to complete and they are arranged into Bronze, Silver and Gold levels to ensure that you continue to develop your lifesaving skills as you progress through the awards.
This course is available through the Junior Leisure for Life card. For booking information please contact your local centre.
