Once individuals or groups have completed their formal qualifications in water safety and first aid it is vital that they maintain the currency of their skills and knowledge. Undertaking ongoing in-service / professional development training at your aquatic venue is the perfect way to ensure you and your team are able to provide the highest level of supervision and safety and able to effectively respond to any emergencies situation.
Group / In-service training can be tailored to the needs of you, your team and the aquatic environment where you work. In-service Lifeguard training has been designed as a specific package to enables Victoria professional pool lifeguards to maintain their skills and knowledge and has been developed to ensure consistency with the requirements of the GSPO.
