FLÖ will be closed from Wednesday 17th to Friday 19th September 2025 as we host an RLSS Open Water Lifeguard course.
Delivered by experienced Open Water Lifeguard Trainer Andy Tennet, this accredited 3-day Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) course provides essential training for anyone looking to supervise open water safely — whether as a lifeguard, volunteer, or venue support.
Participants will gain confidence in and around open water and learn how to:
Recognise when and where it is safe to swim
Identify risks and hazards in open water environments
Supervise swimmers safely and advise them appropriately
Respond effectively to incidents in and around the water
Work alongside venue managers and event organisers
Perform CPR and basic first aid
Use rescue techniques and whistle codes
Complete a timed swim test as part of the assessment
The course includes all learning materials and is independently assessed. It is suitable for those looking to enhance their open water safety knowledge or take the next step towards working in the field.
Cost per participant: £220
We’re proud to support the development of safe open water swimming by hosting this important training at our lake.
👉 This is the last course running until April 2026 — spaces are limited, so book now to secure your place!
