Lifeguarding Home

Lifeguarding

With two 1930s swimming pools and a diverse pool programme, Ironmonger Row Baths is an interesting place to study pool lifeguarding. The main pool has a depth of 3.5m allowing deep water rescues to be practiced. Ironmonger Row Baths specialises in intensive courses running over four weekends.

Programme

Our eight day intensive courses run on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays over four weekends. Friday evening sessions run from 5.30pm till 9.30pm, and Saturday sessions run from 8am till 5.30pm. The last Saturday course runs from 8am till 11.30am. Full attendance is essential.
