This is a new course of lessons directed at under 16’s who must be competent swimmers.
Your local centre can provide this whole programme of 8 ascendinglevels. If not, ask them to contact us.
No one, particularly children should put themselves in danger to help others. Saving two is twice as hard as saving one.
The whole idea of this programme of lessons is “THINK FIRST”.
You can help children to learn how to look after themselves and try to help others near/in water while staying safe themselves, and to be able to administer First Aid
As soon as anyone enters water in a personal emergency situation to aid their own rescue or survival, they are in extreme danger. Specific instruction is given regarding entering, moving and actions to be taken in the water.
If “another” is in danger in water someone attempting a rescue must not enter the water. Specific instruction is given regarding how to assist this person.
Not enough people in general know any First Aid or CPR. These children will be taught how to administer basic First Aid and CPR which is a good life skill to have.
For any further information please use the “contact” link on this web site or the telephone number displayed on every page.
Junior Lifesaver provides an ideal set of experiences and qualifications if you and your friends enjoy outdoor activities such as, walking, hiking, canoeing, boating, camping, caravanning, fishing, climbing etc. Or, just as importantly being able to help someone almost anywhere.
Let’s keep children safe, informed and a credit to the community
