Getting Started
If you have read this far, then we know you are interested. How do I get started?
EASY! Contact us to book your place, and we will give you a quick test to make sure you are fit for the qualification:
- Are you at least 16 (by the assessment date)?
- Can you either jump OR dive into deep water?
- Can you swim 50 metres in less than 60 seconds?
- Can you swim 100 metres on your front and then 100 metres on your back continuously?
- Can you tread water for 30 seconds?
- Can you perform a surface dive to the floor of the swimming pool?
- Can you climb out of the swimming pool unaided without the use of steps or ladders, and where does the design of the swimming pool permit it?
