Beach Lifeguard Assessment 100% Pass

Image
Well done to all 6 candidates who cruised the NBLQ assessment today at Brean. Thanks to Tim for assessing. Ed the dog needs some more training as he tends to lick casualties rather than perform CPR.

Beach Lifeguard Day 4

Image
Another stunning day. The candidates had the usual morning pool swim before heading to the beach to play with different scenarios and rescues. The weather was so nice the beach session went on a bit longer than normal. Back in the classroom we covered all the final parts and had some CPR practice before tomorrows exam. Good luck everybody!!

Beach Lifeguard Training Day 3

Image
Another stunning day on the beach, it is almost as if I booked the weather for us. Pool session then into the sea for some fitness and skills training. An afternoon of First Aid and a visit to another beach to look at the effects of piers and jetties on water movement finished off the day

RLSS Beach Lifeguard Day 2

Image
After an early morning 30 degree pool session looking at towing and board work it was straight into the sea for the chilly real world experience. Well at least for the candidates, I was nice and warm on the beach. After lunch and some theory time we returned to the beach as it near low tide in order to look at just how much water moves in a given timescale

Beach Lifeguard Course

This week I am running a RLSS Beach Lifeguard Course at Brean Splash . We started the day with a pool swim before going to the beach to look at hazards and how to manage them. The weather was stunning so it was a shame that we didn't spend more time outside today but I stuck to my plan and we looked at CPR and tides, waves and currents. Less time inside tomorrow and more time on the beach.
