Two Day Swimming Pool Lifeguard Course

Professional Swimming Pool Lifeguard Two-Day Training Course

Becoming a pool lifeguard is more than just a job; it’s about saving lives, creating safer spaces, and building confidence in and around the water, and this is what our swimming pool lifeguard course is all about. The lifeguard training course at West Coast Water Safety has only one prerequisite, in addition to a minimum age of 16 years, which is that you must hold a current Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) certificate. This makes it perfect for anyone who is looking to step into the industry with the right qualifications.

To achieve this certification, applicants must successfully complete the SISSS00133- Pool Lifeguard (Skill Set), which includes:

• SISCAQU019: Client Supervision in Aquatic Environments
