What does a lifeguard course involve?

 

An NPLQ lifeguard course covers all elements of Pool Rescue Techniques, Lifeguarding Theory, First Aid and CPR. The course is physically demanding and will include swimming to set times, lifting casualties and diving to the deepest part of the swimming pool. A candidate must successfully pass all course elements to attain the qualification.
