A summary
Our Lifeguard Swim Preparation Lessons are an Easter holiday intensive designed to support young people who are hoping to enrol onto our HAF-funded NPLQ Lifeguard Course this summer. The National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) is a nationally recognised qualification and the industry standard award required to work as a pool lifeguard in the UK. Successfully completing the NPLQ can lead to paid employment opportunities within leisure centres and aquatic facilities, providing young people with valuable work experience, responsibility and transferable life skills. The full NPLQ course in the summer is open to ages 16+ (candidates must meet the age requirement at the time of assessment). Our Swim Preparation Course is open to young people aged 14+, giving them the opportunity to start preparing early and build the required skills before they reach the qualifying age. What will participants develop? This preparation programme focuses on helping participants build the skills and confidence needed for lifeguard training, including: - Stronger swimming technique and efficiency - Improved stamina and confidence in timed swims - Deep-water competence and surface diving skills - An introduction to first aid and CPR - An introduction to different types of water rescue - An understanding of the physical expectations of lifeguard training Entry Requirements: To ensure participants are working at the appropriate level, young people enrolling onto this course should already be able to: - Swim 100 metres continuously - Float confidently for 60 seconds - Tread water for 30 seconds These pre-requisites help ensure that swimmers are ready to safely benefit from the lesson content and begin working towards the expectations of the full NPLQ qualification. Delivered in small, supportive groups by experienced instructors, the course provides structured coaching and clear guidance on what will be required to access and succeed on the full qualification.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
