Lifesaving Courses 12-15 YEARS
NEW!
Bronze Star
Prerequisite: Recommend candidates can swim a minimum of 100 metres of front crawl, back crawl, and breast stroke, and are 12 years old (by last day).
The Lifesaving Society’s Bronze Star develops swimming proficiency, lifesaving skill and personal fitness. Candidates refine their stroke mechanics, acquire self-rescue skills, and apply fitness principles in training workouts. Bronze Star is excellent preparation for success in Bronze Medallion and provides a fun introduction to lifesaving sport.
These courses will take place at local beaches and in the ocean. Wetsuits are Mandatory!
Bronze Medallion
Bronze Medallion challenges the candidate both mentally and physically. Judgment, knowledge, skill and fitness – the four components of water rescue – form the basis of Bronze Medallion training. Candidates acquire the assessment and problem-solving skills needed to make good decisions in, on and around the water. Bronze Medallion is a prerequisite for Assistant Lifeguard training in Bronze Cross.
