In The Wild

Would you like to try out some new skills in the water whilst learning about personal safety around lakes and rivers, and even practice some lifesaving skills, all whilst having fun?

Then you will love the Rookie Lifeguard taster session. It is a 30-minute session suitable for 8-12-year-olds who are confident swimmers.

You will get to try out lifesaving skills whilst in the water at Lake Wilderness.

You will get to practise skills such as personal safety in open water, rescue skills with a throw line, reaching rescues from the shore and more.

All led by a qualified instructor.
