Since June 2014, Water Safety Europe have teamed up with local fitness center 1 Formula Fitness to develop and deliver Rookie Lifesaver training to local young people within the centers 'Learn to Swim Program.' The main objective of the Rookie Lifesaver program was to teach the young participants the vital water safety messages as well as teaching vital practical skills in personal survival, self rescue and helping others in distress.
Following the success of the trial program delivered by Water Safety Europe Lifeguard trainers we have extended the program as well as welcoming another partner (Poole Swimming) who have joined our trainers and deliver swim school elements into the course.
Above is the first set of 1 Formula fitness candidates with their new Rookie Lifesaver Bronze stage 1 certificates, while sporting their new Rookie Lifesaver hoodies.
"We are passionate about supporting local drowning prevention strategies and have been honored to work alongside Kate and her team at 1 Formula Fitness" said lifeguard trainer Angelo Fecci. "We strongly believe that education is a vital tool in protecting people, of all ages from accidents in the water. I would like to wish my sincere congratulations to all those who have partook in and passed this Rookie stage and we look forward to continue to train with them."
