Junior Lifeguard – Get involved!

Over the last few weeks SLSGB has visited Surf Life Saving Clubs and Accredited Training Centres across the country for some last minute training for Coaches and Trainers looking to run the Junior Lifeguard programme this summer.

If you were not able to make any of the training events, don’t worry you haven’t missed out. Please get in touch with Leanne today to find out more.

Here are some of the reasons why it's great for your club to get involved:

 Easy to run and great for your club

• Can be used to raise funds of your club, and increase its profile in the community 
• Junior Lifeguard is a ‘taster’ type award, available to non-SLSGB members
• SLSCs do not require additional insurance to deliver this programme**
• Designed to give young people the chance to gain experience delivering an SLSGB Award, and to work as Assistants – growing your workforce!
• Certificate purchasing made easy through our online system

Free resources available
