Since the 1980s, Rookie Lifeguards have been learning basic rescue and lifesaving skills, equipping them with the essential knowledge to recognise hazards, respond effectively in emergency situations, and stay safe in, on and around water.
The Rookie Lifeguard programme also helps children to build their confidence, develop teamwork skills, and foster leadership. If you’re looking for a fun, engaging and active programme for your child or to add to your activity schedule, you’ve found it!
