Rookie Lifesaving School Success

A new beginner lifesaving course for children aged 8 to 12 was held over February half-term at Haverfordwest Leisure Centre.

The free Rookie Lifesaving School was attended by 17 children, each of whom learnt water safety and personal survival skills, and how to perform rescues.

At the end of the week, they all achieved their Rookie Bronze 1 Award.  

As well as teaching children valuable water safety and lifesaving skills, it is hoped that the lifesaving clubs and schools will help to produce lifeguards of the future.

The Lifesaving Club takes place on Tuesday nights at 7.30pm at Haverfordwest Leisure Centre. Due to its popularity, additional club sessions will be starting weekly from 28^th February, between 5pm and 6pm. The tutors who ran the Rookie School also volunteer with the club.
