Rookie Lifeguard Course | Letterkenny

Aura’s Rookie Lifeguard course is Royal Life Saving Society registered and is designed for children between the ages of 8 – 12. This course is particularly aimed at children who are competent swimmers and have a keen interest in developing their swimming skills and knowledge.

This course enables children to set themselves up with a lifelong understanding of the ways in which to safely manage testing situations in water, as well as developing the abilities and knowledge required to become a lifeguard at a later stage.
