4 Boscombe Rookie Instructors were joined by 2 Rookie Instructors from our fellow club at Poole to complete a 1-day course to upgrade to Lifesaving Instructors.
It was an early start to a long day down at Boscombe LG HQ at Honeycombe Chine. But the weather disappoint. With the fabulous 
sunny seaside backdrop, the candidates covered Teaching, Safeguarding and Lifesaving Instructing & Assessing Knowledge Elements followed by numerous practical sessions.
The day was completed at Pelhams where the candidates put their session plans to the test, teaching our New Intermediate Group, judging by the thumbs up and smiles from Jack & Stacie the instructors passed with flying colors. (I doubt the whirlpool & Wave machine games had no effect on the decision 🙂 )
So Congratulations to our new Lifesaving Instructors; Nick, Hannah, Hamish, Anthony and Amy & Sophie from Poole.
Members from Boscombe Lifeguards got up nice and early this morning
to head down to Gordon Steps, Zig Zag in Southbourne to assist with marshaling for the Bournemouth Bay Run. It was good to see members of all ages turning up to represent their club and support the run.
The Bournemouth Run for British Heart Foundation is a popular half-marathon, 10K, 5K or 1K family fun run. Where participants enjoy running alongside the English Channel coastline following raising vital funds for the fight against heart disease.
For members who were asking about the Bay Run Safety Cover details. Our cover is at Gordon Steps zig zag, parking can be easily achieved in Clifton Road or Grange Road (off Southbourne Promenade). Janet will be on site at 8-30 a.m. for anybody arriving early. The 10km. Race which is our cover begins at 9 a.m. at Bournemouth Pier and the runners come up the zig zag and turn to the left back to Bournemouth.

Members of RLSS Boscombe Lifeguards turned out early this morning to support the March for Men Walk/Run taking place along Bournemouth Seafront. Club members acted as marshals on the 1km route and at the finish funnel.
A Big Thank You to John, Steve O, Tim and Janet for representing the club at his event.
And Congratulations to all those runners and walkers who completed the course raising money for this worthwhile cause
Over 150,000 men are treated every year at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital for a range of conditions – ‘March for Men’ shines a spotlight on these major men’s health issues and helps to raise important funds to support the treatment of our patients facing these conditions.
All sons, fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers – as well as their loved ones – are encouraged to walk, march or run either 1km, 5km or 10km along Bournemouth seafront during this annual event.
Previous marches have enabled the Hospital to purchase extra equipment, such as a da Vinci robot that has helped to treat over 200 patients with prostate cancer to date and an Olympus image management hub used by the Hospital’s Urology Consultants.
Last night the club had one of its largest turn outs in recent years fielding a Junior team, 2 Open Teams and a Masters Team. All teams did realy well with many team members experiencing the Twilight Competitions for the 1st or 2nd time.
