Water Safety Qualification spaces available

We’re organising a National Water Safety Management Programme course, delivered by the Royal Life Saving Society, and there are still spaces available for others to join.

This is the essential qualification required to take Scouts swimming when no lifeguard is present.

Course Details:

Dates: Monday 14th & Tuesday 15th July 2025

Location: Swanage (Sea-based training)

Provider: Land & Wave

Cost: £290 (Funding may be available from your District or County – please enquire)

Requirements:

• Aged 16 or over
• A competent swimmer with reasonable fitness
• Comfortable swimming in open water (the course includes sea swims – but it’s July in Swanage, so conditions should be pleasant!)

This is a rare opportunity, as these courses are not frequently available and this one has been arranged specifically for our group. We currently have two participants confirmed, and we’re looking for more to make the course viable.

If you're interested but the cost is a barrier, please still get in touch – we want to make this accessible for everyone.
