Bristol Life Saving Club - Taster Session
Wed 19 Jul 2023 18:00 - 19:00
Jubilee Swimming Pool, BS4 2LP
Description
Bristol Life Saving Club are running some taster sessions at Jubilee Pool ahead of our official launch in September. This is a chance for our newly qualified Rookie Lifeguard Instructors to practice teaching, and for prospective members to "have a go" before signing up for the Autumn term.
Bristol Life Saving Club is a brand new not-for-profit club run by volunteers at Jubilee Pool. We run Rookie Lifeguard Training for children aged 8-14 years old, so they can learn essential water safety, rescue and sports skills: all delivered in a fun and exciting way. During our regular club nights, your children will learn to stay safe around water. They'll also learn how they can safely help someone else who's in trouble in the water, using a variety of land-based and water-based rescue techniques.
During this taster session, we'll aim to give you a flavour of the sort of activities that you might cover on a typical club night. You'll learn about different types of casualty, discover different ways to safely enter the pool, and try your hand at a rope-throw rescue.
To take part in the taster sessions, children must be aged 8-14 years old, able to swim 4 lengths, and be comfortable in deep water.
Please arrive at the pool 10 minutes early to allow time to get changed ready to start your session promptly at the advertised start time.
Space on poolside is extremely limited so, unfortunately, it will not be possible to non-participants (including parents / carers / families / siblings / friends) to watch from the poolside. You are welcome to wait in the reception.
Note: we'll be allocating spaces for September via a lottery. Full details will be announced on our Facebook Page shortly...
