RLSS National Rescue Award for Teachers and Coaches
Many operators ask that swimming teachers have the rescue award, or to be a lifeguard.
NRASTC is a supervision and rescue award for swimming teachers, coaches and (or) instructors working during programmed activities, such as swimming lessons. It is suitable for teachers working in a wide range of swimming pools where the water depth is higher than the teachers’ standing depth and meets the individual facility’s Risk Assessment.
This two-day course equips you with the knowledge required to respond in an emergency where there is no lifeguard support.
The cost for this course is £130
NRASTC LIGHT is a supervision and rescue award for swimming teachers, coaches and/or instructors working during programmed activities, such as swimming lessons when a Lifeguard or First Aid backup is available to respond quickly in the event of an emergency.
It is suitable for teachers working in a wide range of swimming pools, including pools where the water is deeper than the teacher’s standing depth. This award is only suitable when the facility has staff qualified as Lifeguards or First Aiders that are available to respond quickly to a swimming teacher or coach in the event of an emergency.
If Lifeguard or First Aid backup is not available the standard NRASTC should be used.
This one-day course equips you with the knowledge required to respond in an emergency where there is also lifeguard support.
The cost for this course is £120
