In order to cater for the lifeguards of the future, we have a "Rookie Lifeguard" section.

The Club offers the RLSS UK’s comprehensive Rookie Lifeguard training programme, which provides training in water safety, personal survival, basic rescue skills and life support skills, as well as specialist skills including snorkelling, using a paddle board, torpedo buoys, throwing ropes and communications.

The programme blends into the RLSS UK's higher awards and lifeguard training schemes. Anyone from the age of 9 years upwards can be a Rookie.

In order to introduce Rookies to beach activities, Rookie Days are arranged throughout the season. Training sessions will be organised at the beach for the open water elements of the higher awards in this scheme
