Congratulations to our Junior Group who all passed their Rookie Lifeguard Gold Stage 3 tonight. Well Done to Meghan, Charlotte, Stacie, Holly & Jack. The Rookie Gold Award is made up of 3 stages which progressively get harder, testing the rescue skills, self-rescue skills and fitness of the Rookie Lifeguards. Skills involve Timed swims over 400m both with and without wearing normal clothing over swimsuits, treading water in normal clothing over a duration of time, timed rescues of unconscious casualty and timed line throws to a casualty 10ms from safety. All the candidates put in a huge amount of effort to achieve these awards before the club training moves down to the beach. They should be very proud of their achievements and now look forward to completing their beach awards over the summer to achieve their Rookie Master Award.
