International Lifeguarding Course

Earn an internationally recognized lifeguarding qualification at the Club.

Through this three-day training program, equip yourself with the necessary safety, rescue and first-aid skills to handle a range of emergencies and situations at a pool or equivalent shallow-water environment.

After completing around seven hours of online learning, students attend three days of instructor-led sessions, designed by the US-based aquatic organization Ellis & Associates.

The hybrid course, taught by Sky Pool manager Haldane Henry, concludes with a written exam on the final day.

Successful participants will receive a certificate valid for one year.
