In-Service Training Courses

Once Pool Lifeguards have completed their formal qualifications, it is vital that they maintain their skills and knowledge. Undertaking ongoing in-service / professional development training at your aquatic facility is the perfect way to ensure that you and your team are able to provide the highest level of service during supervision as well as emergency situations.

In-service Pool Lifeguard training has been designed specifically to support members of the Victorian aquatic industry to maintain their skills and knowledge and is consistent with the requirements of the GSPO.
