Those wishing to become a beach Life Saver are required to completing a 5-7 day course, comprising theoretical and physical tests in the water and on land. Candidates will be required to swim 200 – 400 metres in the ocean, as well as perform rescues, undertake CPR, provide first aid, and communicate with other Life Savers to pass the course.
