Aquatic venues pose risks which can be very serious and life threatening. Patrons can be put in danger for  many reasons and can quickly become distressed in the water and in need of rescue.  

This course will teach participants the skills and knowledge needed to supervise clients in aquatic locations, and provide a safer environment.  This includes identifying and taking action for inappropriate behaviour, unsafe environmental conditions, individual(s) experiencing difficulty in the water and recognising emergency/rescue situations.

Training will also cover the requirements for effective and appropriate communication, reporting incidents and maintaining confidentially.
