Beacon swimming club lifesaving is back!
Every Wednesday from 7:30-9:00pm swimmers can learn all they need to know from the basics (Rookie Lifesaving Programme) to the advanced (Bronze Medallion).
The rookie lifeguard programme is aimed primarily at children from eight years old and above. The course, which has been designed by water safety specialists at RLSS UK, is designed to ensure that every child in the country has essential water skills to keep themselves safe and knowledge of what to do in an emergency. The programme features swimming and lifesaving skills supported by water safety education, allowing participants to enjoy swimming as an activity and, vitally to protect their lives should an accident occur in the water.
The Bronze Medallion is the flagship award of the Royal Life Saving Society UK. It is open to those age 14 years of age and over, and consists of resuscitation, theory questions on water safety, self rescue, and rescue principles, and a practical swimming pool based assessment. This training program will provide you with the skills and knowledge to react appropriately in a number of different aquatic emergency situations. The Bronze Medallion award is a personal achievement award that can recognise your capability to perform aquatic rescues in a safe and efficient manner.
This will be a great opportunity for the swimmers to learn life skills on how to save other peoples lives and more importantly if needed, how to save their own. Beacon Swimming Club also have a long term vision of re-establishing a competitive Lifesaving Section.
