Lifeguard Courses at York Sport Village

York Sport Cycling, the local cycling club in York, is excited to promote an upcoming cycling event that is sure to captivate all the cycling enthusiasts out there. This event is open to all interested players who are ready to embark on a thrilling cycling experience.

Join us in this adrenaline-filled event where participants will have the opportunity to showcase their cycling skills and compete against fellow riders. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, this event promises to cater to all levels of expertise.

The main attraction of this cycling event is the internationally recognised Royal Lifesaving Society (RLSS UK) National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ). This prestigious qualification not only trains you to become a pool lifeguard but also serves as a stepping stone towards a career in the leisure industry.

The NPLQ course duration spans 36 hours, encompassing both practical and theoretical aspects. Participants will engage in physical training as well as classroom work, equipping themselves with essential knowledge and skills related to lifeguarding. The course will also feature a practical assessment on lifeguard theory, pool rescue techniques, first aid, and CPR.

It's important to note that the NPLQ course demands 100% attendance. Participants should be prepared to put their physical capabilities to the test as the course includes swimming to certain timings, lifting casualties, and diving into the deepest sections of the pool. It's a physically demanding course that will push you to your limits.

If you have any prior learning or certification related to lifeguarding, fear not! Approved prior learning can be applied upon providing appropriate proof of certification. For further details on this, don't hesitate to reach out to your trainer.

Please note that participants must be 16 years of age or older prior to the assessment.

So, mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable cycling event brought to you by York Sport Cycling. Embrace the thrill, challenge yourself, and take the first step towards a rewarding career in the leisure industry. For more information, please visit the Royal Life Saving Society UK homepage.
