Beginners

An intensive programme designed to improve basic swimming ability and improve confidence in and around water.  Participants will learn fundamental skills to build water safety knowledge whilst having fun through games and play.  This course is beneficial for children who are lacking in water confidence or those who are almost swimming but need that extra boost.

Junior Lifeguard Academy

STA's Junior Lifeguard Academy is a survival and rescue training programme that has been specifically created for young people aged from 8 years.

The fun-packed programme offers something for everyone; from lifeguarding skills and first aid.

• Learners work at their own pace; there is no set timetable or deadline to complete the programme - instructors have the flexibility to schedule them into lessons in any order 
• Knowledge is reinforced through fun games
• All the missions and challenges are progressive

Why choose Junior Lifeguard?

STA has developed the Junior Lifeguard Programme so that learners can develop new skills beyond the traditional learn to swim programme, and experience a myriad of different aquatic, lifesaving, sports and firs aid activities. The Junior Lifeguard Academy aims to:

• Inspire young people to get active, have fun with friends and learn important life-saving skills
• Reassure parents that their child is not only a competent swimmer, but also knows what to do in an emergency
