once Stage 6 has been achieved.
The Rookie Lifeguard programme has been designed by water safety specialists at RLSS UK and aims 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.
Children will learn many new skills, including towing, floating, diving from the surface and
poolside and retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool.
Children will be taught how to tread water efficiently, thus preserving heat and energy,
as well as swimming with clothes on and removing them from within the water.
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 or out of the water.
Rookie Lifeguards will work for Bronze, Silver and Gold awards, with three awards at each level.
Theory-based lessons to back up practical skills take place on poolside.
Our Rookie Lifeguard classes are held on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evening at Farnborough Hill School.
Children are presented with a Rookie Lifeguard T-shirt at the end of their first term of Rookie Lifeguarding lessons.

I am delighted with the teaching and approach at Farnborough Fins. The teachers are really friendly but not too much! They have a great balance when encouraging the children and making them go that extra bit. All credit to them!
A great big thank you. Who’d have thought my water-phobic daughter would be able to improve so dramatically. She loves swimming now.
