SOUTHEND: Ever wanted to be a lifeguard?

Do you think you have what it takes to become a lifeguard? If the answer is yes then this may be the opportunity for you.

National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) courses are being offered at Warriors Swim Centre in Southend.   If you are 16 or over, physically fit, can swim to a good level and get to the bottom of the deepest part of a swimming pool, you’re in with a shout.

The NPLQ course runs for 40 hours generally over a seven day period, at the end of which you take an exam by an independent assessor.

You will be examined on how much you know about CPR, first aid, hazards and risk assessments, role of a lifeguard, accident prevention and water based rescue skills, your fitness and team work abilities.

The course is scheduled to take place on Saturday 11th September 9am – 5pm, Sunday 12th September 9am – 5pm, and Monday 13th – Friday 17th September 4.30pm – 9.30pm.
