The Rookies lifesaving programme is a great way for the groms to learn essential skills to keep themselves (and others) safe in the water. We are lucky to have Julia who is an excellent coach, to teach the rookies again this year. We’ll be running the bronze, silver and gold awards.
The sessions will be on Saturday evenings from 7-8pm in the Penzance Leisure Centre pool. Dates for your diary:
