” My daughter did this course when she turned 16 and it was the best thing she has done so far. She always loved swimming and this course has given her the opportunity to work during the summer. She also made some new friends on the course and it really boosted her confidence. “

” I did this course with my friend because we wanted to go travelling and work abroad. We went to the USA and got jobs working in pools as lifeguards. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to go abroad. “
