12 of our youth members have enrolled for the Graduate Lifeguard Programme, which follows the same criteria as the SLSGB Surf Lifeguard Award. Year 9 students progress over 3 years working through each element which are signed off as they complete the necessary training, when all the elements have been completed the Trainer Assessor will sign off the log book and they will be ready for the relevant SLSGB award. Trainer Assessor Chantel Richards is taking the lead on this programme, with input from the other club coaches and trainers.
The programme has been devised to help promote water safety and the prevention of drowning through training, qualifications and peer to peer presentations.
