| Aquarius teaches lifesaving skills to swimmers from around 9 years old, promoting water safety and turning bystanders into lifesavers.
We use recognised water safety programmes (NARS and ROOKIE) to introduce the basic skills, following a structured badge scheme. Each summer a group of lifesavers take their Bronze and Silver Open Water Awards in the Thames. To offset the often freezing water, we take a picnic and make a day of it. Aquarius supports the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, with participants able to undertake a Skills or Community Section by attending lifesaving classes with us. Aquarius also trains new lifesaving teachers, leading to a professional qualification, and provides National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches (NRASTC) training. NPLQ – Aquarius supports NPLQ courses at Caterham School, we are able to link up our swimmers with good courses if they are interested. To find out more, contact us on 01883 342270 or 01883 344662 or info@aquariusswimming.co.uk.Dates to look out for: Bronze and Silver Cross Open Water Exam dates (between July and September every year)
