Information - The Rookie Lifeguard Programme – Ipswich Lifesaving CLub
Ipswich Lifesaving Club teaches children vital life skills to help stay safe and rescue others when in or near water. We are affiliated to the RLSS UK and run the Rookie Lifeguard and National Lifesaving Academy Programmes. Based at Fore Street Pool Ipswich, we focus on pool based skills. In the summer, we make our way to Felixstowe beach to gain rescue and self survival skills in open water. Still not challenged enough? Why not take part in competitions including the RLSS UK National Lifesaving Championships, where you can put your skills to the test! Suitable for various section of Duke of Edinburgh’s award!
The Rookie Lifeguard Programme is for children aged 8 – 12. The Rookie skills make your child aware of how to take better care of themselves, their family and friends, and give them the information they need to promote water safety in their day-to-day activities. It gives your child the skills they need to be confident in the pool or the sea – which means peace of mind for you.
Each lesson comprises of half an hour water based activities and half an hour dry side activities.The Programme is split into three levels for the water based activities: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each level is then split into three stages. As your child progresses through the levels and stages, they will recieve a certificate and badge so they can show off their achievement!
In the dryside part of the session, your child will learn skills to achieve the Rookie Life-support, First Aid, and Communications awards.
