South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture

Have you ever thought about a career within the leisure industry? If you are 16 or over, you may wish to consider training as a Pool Lifeguard.

South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture provides various training courses throughout the year offering an exciting opportunity for you to gain your National Pool Lifeguard Qualification.

Obtaining this award could open a world of opportunities by giving you the appropriate award necessary to pursue job opportunities within your chosen career as a Pool Lifeguard as this award is recognised throughout the United Kingdom.

Participants must be at least 16 years of age at the time of their assessment.

The course fee is £277.45, which is non-refundable unless the water test is failed and the course therefore cannot be completed.

100% attendance is mandatory. Without this candidates will not be put forward for the final assessment.

Courses may be subject to change or cancellation.
