Our senior and very experienced Trainers Paul Searle (Club President) and Nicky Knight will be running a course over the weekend of 16th and 17th March for all those aged 14 years upwards who are interested in becoming Instructors for the Torbay Lifesaving Club.

Training will take place at the Admiral Swimming Centre, Higher Ranscombe Road, Brixham from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 16th March and from 9am to 1pm on Sunday 17th March with the aim of starting teaching/assisting at the club session the afternoon of the 17th.

All course materials will be provided. You just need to bring your swim kit and goggles, a packed lunch, water bottle and pen and paper.

There is no charge for this course but once completed, we ask for a regular commitment to assisting with teaching during our regular Sunday sessions.
